Description
The City of New York chartered the libelants scows, among them the Roslyn, to carry ashes and rubbish from waterfront dumps in Manhattan and The Bronx to Rikers Island. The charter was effective May 1, 1932, and ran from day to day continuously until terminated by either party upon one days written notice. It was in the form of a letter written by the city (Department of Sanitation) to the libelant, and assented to by the libelant, whereby libelant furnished and paid a scowman for each scow and was paid an agreed sum per day while the scows were in use. The limits of liability of the city were defined in the charter in some detail, paragraph numbered (12) providing that: "The City of New York will be responsible for damages to your scows caused by the negligence of its servants and employees. The City of New York will not be responsible for damages to your scows of any nature whatsoever from any other cause whatsoever".
