A Hill amend the Sydney ·
ben passed by te Common- we lth Parliament, which is of special interest to own re and cherterers of cargo steamers over 3,000 tons. Owing to the inter- pretation that has been placed on the Sydney Harbour Trust Act of 1904, large vessels could not be rated on their gross tonnage urder that Act but were restricted to net tonnage. That Act provides that ships of more than 5,000 tons shall te exempt, and that ships should not be charged for wharfage on public holidays or Sundays. This is a serious imate ter to the Sydney Harbour Trust, as it finds that it razot pess bly berth the large cargo ships that come to that pot at the innde- quate rates now charged. The Secton 7 of the Sydney Harbour alterations made are as follow:- Rates Act of 1994 is to be repealed and the following section inserted. in its place :-"The tonnage es to be levied shall be at the rate of one haltpenny for each ton of the grosi measurement of the vess·1 for each complete period of 24. bours, and for periods of less than
