The question of the right to pos.

Company owns the greater portion
Of the wharf and some years ago the
city rented the city part oH the
wharf to the company. r1fe lease
according to members OF the City
Council expired some years ago The
New Jersey truckers who bring farm
produce here refuse to pay wharfage
when 1t was learned that no renthad

and are willing to paw wharfage to
the city. The shad fishermen have
been compelled to pay heavy wharf
age. They are citizens of New Cas-
tie. 1t has been regular bugaboo
toNew Castle. Boats that otherwise
would land here do not stop on ac-
count Of the high wharfage. Yes.

Reading new tug Carlisle wasreturn-
ing from her trial trip a stop was
madehere. The two lines that were
thrown out were made fast on city
property and yet the wharfage OF
$3.50 had to be paid. The case will
be watched with interest. 1t is
claimed that magistrate has no
jurisdiction in such a case and that
