W Maxch 16, 1914. M r.' T. M. Sloan, General Freight Agent. hear S ir: I have your le tte r o f the 14th, in the matter of elaim o f Crescent ’Wharf & Warehouse Company fo r wharfage charges on fre ig h t lightered direct from vessels to the San Pedro aide of the harbor. There is no provision in the ordinance submitted with your le t t e r which authorises the collection of Wharfage on freigh t that does not actually pass over a Wharf. In other words, where freigh t is handled from the steamship direct to a lig h te r, and does not pass over a Wharf, there is no provision fo r collection o f wharfage. Consequently I cannot see any foundation fo r the claim o f the Crescent Company. The ordinance submitted, however, became effective July 1st, 1913.' As the ordinance fix in g charges from July 1st, 1912, to July 1st, 1913, is not before me, I do not know -whether there is foundation therein fo r claims accruing dtplng that period. The clause in the contract reading that the Crescent Company sh all receive any charges fo r Wharfage properly chargeable on '* Wykir- ;i \ \ freigh t lightered between San Pedro and the westerly side of San Pedro and the vessels of said H a v ig a ti^ Company while at dock No. 3, would mean simply that they en titled to Wharf- ?
