PARDEE, Circuit Judge. This appeal raises only the question of whethei wharfage dues, under the contract of the Louisiana Construction & Improvement Company with the city of New Orleans, of date May 23, 1891, should be charged and collected upon the gross or the net tonnage of the vessels using the wharf.
