Assuming that subsidies are absolutely necessary for the efficient performance of postal work viewed as in aid to commercial and tradal, trous- nctions, is it possible and advisable for the Colony to give a subvention to a pri- vate line of steamers, or should the pre- sent costly arrangement be continued?
· The first part of the question would depend entirely on the willingness of the directors of the fastest line of regular steamships to engage their vessels to call in at Brindisi for China Maile, observing exact punctuality as well as travelling at a high rate of speed for a sum less than the £6000 now paid to the London Post Office as the reduced share of subsidy due from this Colony for its own mails.
