All these vessels came up the coast with
a good fair wind, but when they got of

ne came 10 an anchor In a short time
the tug Sea King came along and lowed
him 10 safer berth.

the vessel complained to the COMMISSION

that the trouble was all caused by
grain dealers failing to remove their
wheat from the grain sheds in the regu-

passed a resolution by which all owners
will have to pay 10 cents ton day for
every day over the twenty that the wheat
remains on the wharVeS, or until the
chief wharfinger can find warehouse
in which to store it at the owners ex-
