A few more hints on the wharfage ques-
ton. Council has referred back the re-
cent ordinance proposed for increasing the
tax, to the City Solicitor for amendment.
It would be well II Council would leave
the tax az it stands. The receipts last
year were nearly 81 400, and out OF that
sum was paid the Wharfrnaster's fees,
about $500, and the amount applied to
improving the wharf was Sl25! Isn't
that revenue enough9 II Council does
anything II should reduce the tax. N
