Lucas | voting “no” to reject the proposal Ior further &t To chonmder . Later Councilman Harry Lea gave| notice of reconsideration of his vote 50 that the matter could be brought up again this evening. He, with | Councilman E. J. (Kelly) Blake and Elroy Ninnis, voted against the proposition. Voting to accept were Councilmen Sam Feldon, Ralph Beistline and Henry Messerschmidt. R. E. Robertson, attorney for the company, who had served notice on the Mayor by special delivery let-| ter Saturday morning that the Northland offer would be with- drawn at 10 oclock -that night, | agreed after the Council meeting to extend the deadline to 10 o'clock tonight. | The lease drawn up by the| Northland Transportation Company | provides that the firm, at its own cost, under its own management and with its own employees, con- duct the City Wharf as a public wharf with facilities available to the public. No Rate Increase The company would agree not to increase wharfage rates without the permission of the City Coun- cil, but would be able to decrease them at will. Vessels of the Northland company would have. priority to decking fa-| cilities, on the serving of six lours'' written notice to the City Clerk. The City would be required to| maintain fire insurance on the| property and to keep. up piling, cnp»" ping ‘and decking. The remainder’ of the premises would be main- tained by the Northland Company, which, however, would not be Te-| sponsible for damage due to fire or act of God. The company would’ keep the wharf painted, but would be under no obligation to paint it more often than once every five years. Damaged fender piles would | be replaced by the company. $300 Per Month “ The Northland Company would pay the City $300 per month rent for the wharf and would pay all| Federal and Territorial license fees. The company would receive all reve- nues from the wharf, without hav- | ing to account for them to the City. A provision in the lease would 'allow the Northland Company to| terminate it on 90 days’ written no- tice, but the City would have no| right to terminate the agreement. The lease would run for five years | from April 21, 1940 and then would be renewable for a further five year| period on the same terms and con- | ditions. Several Changes Robertson agreed at Saturday's | meeting to insert a provision which would allow the rental figure for the second five-year period to be determined by a board of arbitra- tien in case the company and the City. could not agree at time of renewal. Robertson also agreed to a pro- viso that the lease would' automat- ically expire at the end of the first five years in case the City .should sell the wharf in the meantime. The lease is similar to one which was held legal several years ago by the Appelate Court. No vote of the people ‘would be necessary to -clese ! the agreement. Councilman Feldon made the’ nio- tion Saturday to adopt a resolution accepting the lease, He'was sec- onded by Beistline. © 1 The Migures The cm figures it wolld mnk ja-net profit of .$1441.50 per. year on the City Wharf under the l¢ase, after deducting $1,000 for ‘mainten- ace, $300 for fire insurance and i WO figure). In addition to the $3600 rental from the Northland company, the City would also receive an esti- mated $700 per year, in tonnage taxes. Last year the City's net profit from the City Wharf was $2,365.88, or $92438 more than it would net each year under the proposed new |agreement. It was explained by officials, however, that several items of expense had not been charged against the wharf in the City's fi- gures. Among these was insur- ance on longshoremen. It was also explained that in the $1,000 per year maintenance estimate was included a sum for the upkeep of small boat floats and: walkways which should not properly be charged against the | City ' Wharf.
