It's passage is presented to your favorable
consideration
Item 4S4, steam tug, $4,000 Your com
mittee respectfully begs to state that,
after having carefully weighed the diff
ferent arguments advanced. both for and
against the passage of this item, and
giving due consideration to the fact that
garbage fncinerator such as is now I'M
oer consideration would in a measure
lessen the necessity of maintaining the
steam tug, and also not fayoring Gov
eminent opposition to private enterprise,
stlil with the garbage incinerator a sim
pie question of the future, and private en-
terprise when converted into a monopoly
not being conducive to the public good,
your committee feels that the time has
not yet arrived for the abandonment of
the steam tug, and submits that there is
still great necessity for it's maintenance,
and therefore recommend this item be
passed as in the bill. The usefulness of
the tug for public purposes should be ap-
piled to earnings which would show that
the tug supports itself
