A Big STEAL STOPPED.
The New Rule in Regard to
Harbor Tolls.
An. Important Concession Secured by the
League of Progress-An Old Railroad
! Extortion Ceases.
t their meeting Yesterday afternoon the

/ their meeting Yesterday afternoon the
.roor Commissioners abolished the rule
lereby the Southern Pacific Railway has
zen aole Tor years to fileh thousands of
oiiars from the merchants of this city.
The League of Progress first called atten-
I uon 10 the lllegaiity of the process by which
remedy which was to establish aniFeagas9fff aana
atom rate for the collection of harbor dues.
The State tolls on merchandise is 3 cents
ton, but as there was no coin OF less de-
nomination than a nickel the merchants
have had to pay cents toll on packages and
articles weighing under ton. Under the
operation of the rule, so long in TO rec, it
was possible for the railroad company to
charge tile merchant as high as 81 cents,
and perhaps higher, for harbor dues on a
single ton.
The railway company in its freight bills
+ charged up the tolls on a number Of single
shipments, each weighing from 100 to 1000
pounds, the aggregate weight of which would
be less than ton.
BY this process an enormous profit &C
crued to the railroad company, as in set
ting up with the Harbor Commissioners the
State would receive only cents for each
ton delivered, the difference between the
aggregatebf the various sums collected from
the merchants and that paid over to the
State being gObbled by the Southern Pacific
octopus.
This source OF revenue by very simple
amendment TO the rules of the Harbor
Board has been most effectualiy cut of,
though the railroad people have been ia
vOred with another month in which they
may practice the extortiOn.
At their meeting yesterday the Board of
| HarbOr commissioners unanimously adopt
| ed the following amendment 10 the rules for
the collection Of tolls, to take effect October

ION merchandise, except where other
