He also expressed the belief that trade was growing rapidly. It is curious that all these assertions were regarded with much scepticism by the unofficial members.

From an official point of view the success of the Government, may be entirely satisfactory, but those who have business interests in the southern Colony will regard the adoption of a harbour scheme--which has not been shown, in our opinion, to be either adequate, if the works are meant to meet the requirements of the port for any considerable term of years, or suitable for a port which in the near future will in all probability have an increased coasting trade with con- siderable doubt, if not trepidation.

The plans, however, have been adopted and the Colony stands committed to another expensive scheine, the value of which is an uncertain quantity. It would almost appear as if Singapore, glorying in an exchequer against which there are no liabili ties, had entered upon a career of extra agance, half-hidden under the specious excuse of necessity. Certainly the business
