Gentlemen:- Eeplying to your communication of the 13th In st. , requesting an opinion as to whether the American—Hawaiian Steamship Company is violatin g the provisions o f Ordinance 30259 (lew Series) is imposing a charge of but 1 2 -l/ z^ per ton for loading freight on cars from the p ile in transit shed, I beg to advise you: The relation existing between the steamship company and the shipper is very clearly set forth by Mr. T ra ffic Manager Matson’ s report to your Honorable Board under date of August 12, 1914. The City, as proprietor of the wharf, charges and receives a l l the fees fo r the use thereof mentioned in the ordinance and, as such proprietor,has no voice in the contract 'between shipper or consignee and the transportation company as to who, as between themselves, shall pay them. That is a question, i f there be a question, fo r determination by the o ffic e r or body having jurisdiction of transportation rates. X return herewith correspondence accompanying your communication. Tery tru ly yours, Albert Lee Stephens City Attorney.
