NOT INITIATIVES ENOUGH
 AT NEW LONDON.
Tugboat Captains Register Complaint Some Have Abused Privileges Granted.

New London is in need of wharveS, according to the tug captains of sev- eral of the big lines whose boats make that port. Even if it were not expect scommodation of. ocean steamers. the available wharves are too few.
 An instance of the lack Of wharfage was given when tug which came in to the Central Vermont wharf. The tug had an anchorless box barge which must be taken alongside a wharf. The railroad wharves being out of the question, the captain took tug and barge to. Chappen company's wharf and tied up. Central Coal com pSny's wharf was occupied at the time or the tug might have docked there.
 The New England Navigation com pany's wharf, which is the New Lon don line landing. has room on the south side, but the towboaters say that none but railroad tugs are allowed to dock there There was plenty of room at the Central Vermont wharf. but landing there is prohibited.
 Inquiry into the matter reveals the fact that the privilege of wharves has been abused by some tugboat captains, which has led to the railroads refusing Is said that the railroad wharfngers failed to collect wharfage charged against the boats of several lines and not only these lines but others which pdlQ promptly nave been ueDdTI0O tH6 use of the wharves.
 In the past it was common for a tugboat to tie up to wharf and in cur bill of s1 for a nights berth. Then it got to be common for the tug boat captains to decline to pay and to refer the wharf1nger to the company which owned the boat for the fee. The boats agent, pursuing an economical policy, would write to the owners of the wharf. saving that the tugboat captain was unauthorized to incur such expense and the company would not pay it.
 In other words, the agents would be just as well satisfied for more than financial reasons if the tugs lie in the stream. The railroads with their sys- tematfzed business methods directed that only tugs of companies which agree to stand for wharfage fees may dock.
 Wharf owners around New York make no charges as rule." said a towboat man, because it's a very de- sirab1e thing, when q wharf takes Ire; to be on friendly terms with the lug boat men"
