10.-Examination of Pilots.
(Under Ordinance No. 3 of 1901)
24. There were no candidates examined during the year. Nineteen (19) licences were renewed.
11. Sunday Cargo-Working.
25. There were 1,122 permits issued during the year under Ordinance No. 1 of 1891, as compared with 1,247 in 1918. Of these, 440 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 $108,900 as against $133,800 in 1918.
The decrease is due to the increase of tonnage after the war, hence no necessity to work cargo on Sundays generally.
12.-New Territories.
(Twenty-first year of British Administration.)
