24. There were 2 candidates examined during the year, licences were renewed,
11.-Sunday Cargo Working.
25. There were 966 permits issued during the year under Ordinance 1 of 1891, as compared with 678 in 1915. Of these 259 were not used as the ships did not arrive up to time, and in some cases it was found unnecessary to work cargo on the Sunday.
The Revenue collected under this head amounted to $116,000 as against $85,250 in 1915.
The increase is due to the shortage of tonnage and the anxiety of ship owners to get their ships away from port as soon as possible.
