THs PILOrAGE BILL.

The Dunwoody Measure as it Now
Stands in tie General Assembly.
The bill to change the pilotage laws of
Georgia SO as to abolish the licensing of
coastwise vessels is likely TO remain in the
hands of the committee Of the general as
sembly The bill, by consent of both sides,
had been amended SO as abolish the license
system and require ccastwise vessels to pay
half pilotage.
After this agreement was arrived at the
Savannah pilots, who had not been con-
suited as to the change. discovered that IL the
law was 50 amended it would entail a
heavy less on the pilots Of this port for the
reason that foreign vessels would, under the
provisions Of the several International
treaties preventing discrimination in port
fees, be entitled to the same reduction as
coastwise vessels.
The principal opponents OF the original, or
Dunwoody bill, have been lumber men in
this city, owners of shares in schooners en-
gagged in coastwIe trade.
It il stated that it was through this intlu.
ence that the compromise making coast
wise vessels subject to half pilotage was
pushed through the committee of the gen
eral assembly. 1t is not ksown, however,
that these parties saw the demoralizing ef-
feet the proposed amendment would have
on the advocates Of. the Dunwoody
bill, or that they had any
idea that the proposed half rate
| on coastwise vessels would affect foreign
commerce Whether they did or not, 1t was
| a bombshell at close quarters and tho pilots
were not slow to find that out.
Capt. W. J. Thompson of the plot
! boat Mecca went at once to Atlanta
to see what could be done to mend
matters and prevent the passage of
the dangerous measure. He found that 1t
was very probable that the bill would go
| through II it was put on its
passage. He returned home Sunday
ard had q conference with the representa-
| tives Of the owners Of coastwise vessels.
and the result was an agreement that ali
parties in this city interested in the matter
should favor the law remaining as it is. that
is opposing the Dunwoody bill Whether
| the amended hill will remain where it is ia
| to be seen. If it comes again there will
| doubtless be a lively fight among its former
| advocates. Capt. Thompson went back to
! Atlanta yesterday.
The members of the cotton exchange will
hold meeting 10 the exchange building at
noon to-day, to consider a communication
! from Thomas NJ. Fleetwood. representative
of the Savannah pilots, in regard to the bill.
