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. For the reasons given in the case of Coul v. Improyement Co. (just decided) 02 Fed. 749, this case is ruled the samo way, and the decree appealed from is affirmed.
