Melburn v. Louisiana Const. & Imp. Co.
Opinion of the Court
Tliis appeal raises only the question of whether wharfage dues, under the contract of the Louisiana Construction & Improvement Company with the city of New Orleans, of date May 23, 1891, should he charged and collected upon the gross or the net tonnage of the vessels using the wharf. For the reasons given in the case of Coul v. Improvement Co. (just decided) 62 Fed. 749, this case is ruled the same way, and the decree appealed from is affirmed.
