THE LICENSING OF PILOTS.
The Pilots Ordinance, which the Hon. L. A. W. Barnes Laurence introduced for the consideration of the Legislative Council yesterday aftemoon, is undoubtedly the out- come of repeated representations made to the Government in the interests of shipping. The Chamber of Commerce has frequently had the question under consideration and, in 1902, they were approached by the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Gudown Co., Ltd, with the object of inducing the Government to oblige plots to register then {35 scives with, and prove their qualifications |before, a Board having the requisite authority from the Government to act. Accordingly, the matter was brought forward, stress being and on the fact that the pilots of to-day are of inferior calibre to their predecessors, and that there was a growing tendency amongst them to disregard and wilfully ignore ordinary

We find that, at the request of the Government, a scheme for holding Government examinations and granting certificates was drawn up by a special sub-committee, comprising Messrs. E. A. Hewett, A. Haupt, and W. Poate. Their re- commendation was adopted by the Chamber and submitted to Government, who replied to the eflect that it would place the Harbour Master in an emurely false position if he had to give certificates for qualification which he could not test. To this the Committee replied that at home and other Asiatic ports this was satisfactorily managed, and that, it necessary, the licensing board need not be entirely composed of Government officials but might be supplemented by outside experts. It was pointed out that, whilst there was a demand for pilotage on the harbour, the Committee were against the institution of compulsory pilotage, also that the granting or refusing to grant a certi PHOTOGRAPHICficate ar suggested by the Government
