Editor Marine Records ■ • Apropos to the recent change In the In¬ spection charge for yachts which has been reduced to |5, several tug owners In Cleve¬ land and vicinity, who having keenly felt tho heavy fee (|25) charged by tlie Govern- - nient for the usual yearly inspection of their ™ bouts, have come to Hie conclusion that tlrby are paying a larger fee than they Bhould, taking into consideration the size of the bouts compared to the large eastern steamers which pay the same amount and run all tbe yenr. ,«hereus they only run trom six to seven months, and also the fact that pilots uud engineers have hud their license fees\ reduced from $10 and $5 to 50 cents. \ Now if tug owners along the lakes will \ consider this and address their 'respective ) representatives to Congress with a petition for a i eduction In tlie inspection fee, we think, flnasmucli iib pilots and engineers licenses, and yacht Inspection fees-have been reduced by tho same procedure, that Congress will, consider tho petition favora¬ bly. As this can only be accomplished by an act of Congress, wo hope all tug owners wljl give this their Immediate attention. Cleveland Too Owners, PRODIGALITY OF THE ANCIENTS.
