an effort win be made 10 secure spe-
cial wharfage rate for the Wheeling
packet Liberty. The recently passed
wharfage ordinance provides that for
boats OF moro than 900 tons capacity the
charge for each landing shall be 81.

trip, the Ben Hur, Lexington and
Evansville paying atty cents Under
the circumstances, and considering the
fact that the Liberty Is n home boat,
owned here In Wheeling, II seems pro-
Dor that n special enactment making
her rate ot wharfage fifty cents, should

wharvcs committee favors such action!
