clusion, of his observations on the character equipment and working expenses of the
:ho porta
visited Mr. Baohanan gives his opinions as to the requirements of a modern port, and their soundness will be apparent to all those who have watched the modern developments of shipping. First, he says a port must have facilities. for prompt despatch of shipping. Secondly it must have ample storage accommodation for goods. Then follow comments on the recent growth in the size of ships: It must be borne in mind Mr. Bachanak points out; that tho greater the size of vessels the more 800- nomical are they to their owners, the consumption of coal being less, and the voyages required fewer, and it has been shown that cargo on be carried at a steadily decreasing cost as size increases.
It is not to be wondered at that, in these circumstances the ship- owner with a valuable vessel in which-a-large amount of capital has been sank and which has huge and constant enrrent ex- penses should hate delay and prefer a port which gives good despatch, and it should be remembered that to make a port popular with ship owners. it is necessary to make it a port to which it is profitable to come and to which a low, freight can be accepted. There seems practically no limit to the size of ships and ports must in these days of keen competition either kéopup to date or be content to drop behind and fall into dieuse, leaving to more enterpris ing neighbours the trade attract ed by their progressive policy, Finally Mr. Buchanan says, it cannot be too deeply impressed
