Federal Government objects , The Federal Government, has registered objection to Cobourg council in that the Town has Set a flat fee of $350.00 for boaters docking in Cobourg annually rather than a per foot charge. The issue has been a contentious one in Cdbourg with large • boat owners seeking the flat raie charge and who finally won put in their demands. The Federal Government recently located $1 million for works at Cobourg Harbour Harbour and feel, the flat rate charge does discriminate between between the larger and smaller boaters. Although there was some support on council for a $14.50 per foot charge.it was not enough to change the charge from the $350 flat rate charge for 1983.
