25. During the year 282 permits were issued under the provisions of this Ordinance compared with 348 in 1907. Of these 117 were not used as it was found unnecessary to work cargo on the Sunday, and the fees in such cases were refunded. In one case the fee paid was refunded, although the permit was used, on account of bad weather having detained the ship, and in another case half the fee was refunded for the same reason.
The Revenue collected under this head amounted to $28,600 as against $41,250 in 1907. The general depression in Trade, already alluded to, being the obvious cause of the decrease.
