REDUCED IN NUMBER
Operation Of New Law Regarding Bill.
boards,

From present indications it is believed the
number Of billboards in the city will be
materially reduced by the new law on the
subject. Since November / the Commits
sioners have had authority to deny permits
for the continuance Of billboards in resi-
dence sections where a majority consent
from the residents could not be obtained.
The billboards Of the city are now all con-
trollec by bill-posting company, and the
Commissioners have from time to time is
sued large number of permits. The BILL
posting company first took the matter into
the courts to test the validity of the law.
The case was decided against the company
and an appeal noted
With this adverse decision recorded
against it the company set about anew to
secure the permission Of the property own
ers and residents in the squares where bill
boards were to be erected or continued 1t
is now said 1t has found 1t SO easy to
secure this permission that the case in the
Ponce Court may not be taken UP to the
higher tribunals. In view of the frequent
complaints formerly made to the Commits
sloners concerning the billboards, the au-
thorities are little surprised at the turn
matters seem to have taken.

LEASE OF WHARVES.
PRICE PLACED ON JAMES CREEK
CANAL FACILITIES.
Commissioners Decide to Rent Them at
Rate Of Fifty Cents Per
Front Foot.

The District Commissioners have taken
UP the matter of leasing the wharfage ia
cilities along the banks of the James Creek
canal and have decided that for the first
year the rate shall be so cents a front foot
per annum. This price has been influenced
by the bad condition of the canal at pres
ent. The leases, which are to be prepared
by the corporation counsel, are to date from
July last, as all occupants of canal space
have been In possession since that time.
The reason for the delay in making the
leases was the objection offered by the oc-
cupants to higher rate than so cents a
foot The Commissioners called for bids
and it was seen from these that the 50-cent
rate was about the best that could be OBJ
tanned at this time.
Fred A. Perley, transitman in the engineer
department, recently submitted lengthy
report to the Commissioners on the subject
of the canal and the proposed leases. He
submitted plat of the canal and it's oanks
showing the spaces for which bids We're re-
ceived. Mr.. Perley stated some of the facts
which he thought should influence the Com
missiorers in agreeing to the JO-cent rate.
He says he was advised by Harbor Master
Sutton that the channel of the canal is very
narrow and shallow and is only navigable
at high tide by the craft which ordinarily
use 1t.
The delays occasioned from this cause are
costly to merchants operating on the canal.
The towage is excessive, from the fact that
tugboats frequently lie idle in the channel
from one high tide until the next. Repairs
to craft numerous, due to damages in
cident to the shallow channel and sub
merged piles.
Loss of Time Alleged.
Owing to the narrowness of the canal 1t
is stated, merchants are frequently required
by the harbormaster to move from their
mornings vessels which are unloading,
thereby losing much time. Mr. Perley says
further. the canal being used for an open
sewer the abutting property is made unde-
sirable on this account. In view of all the
facts, 1t was recommended that the pro-
posed average price of 20 cents a foot be
reduced to so cents. This, it was stated,
would be reasonable rent for the prop
erty until such time the channel may be
dredged and the walls put in much-needed
repair.
The leases to be prepared by the corpora
ton counsel will provide that the property
shall not be used for the storage of mate
rial which will be detrimental to the health
of the public. 1t will be further provided
that the lessee shall keep the new fence
erected about the canal in repair, and shall
be responsible for damage to it, due either
to negligence on his part or failure to take
the proper precautions to protect 1t In the
operation of his business. roadway at
least sixteen feet wide must be maintained
inside the fence for the convenience of the
general public.
