The board of harbor commissioners shall have power to fix and regulate the tolls, dockage, wharfage, craneage, shedage, storage rates and rental or other charges which it shall deem necessary to make for the use of all publicly-owned docks, wharves, warehouses, piers, slips, basins and other harbor and airport facilities and railway tracks and belt railways. >>Copies of the schedule of such fees and charges shall be made available by the board upon request.<< Said board may also, with the approval of the common council, lease, either for exclusive or common use, such particular parcel or parcels of harbor lands or harbor facilities as it may deem expedient to any party or parties for any purpose or use, requiring, involving or connected with the construction, maintenance, operation or use of any harbor facilities.

Copies of the schedule of such fees and charges shall be made available by the board to interested persons upon request.]]
Part 2. Section 19-11 of the city charter is amended to read:
19-11. Taxes a Lien on Property. All taxes and assessments, general or special, levied under this act, [Ch. 184, L. 1874], shall be and remain a lien upon the lands and tenements upon which they may be assessed, from the time of the filing of such assessment rolls [[in the office of the city clerk [treasurer] ]], and on all personal property of any person or body politic assessed for personal taxes, from the delivery of the warrant for the collection thereof, until such tax shall be paid; and no sale or transfer of such real or personal estate shall affect such lien: provided, that as between the grantor and grantee of any land or lot, when there is no express agreement as to which shall pay the taxes or assessments that may be assessed or become chargeable thereon before the conveyance, if such land is conveyed even with or prior to the date of the warrant authorizing the collection of such taxes or assessments, then the grantee shall pay the same; but if conveyed after that date, the grantor shall pay them. Any personal property belonging to the person taxed may be taken and sold for the payment of taxes upon personal property.
