together, Similarly--a more dificulė task, --the various, boats trading to the port wers olawibed according to the nature of their cargo or place of registration, and the numerous face leviable on each class were marged into one perment.

After giving examples of amalgamating the various feprontargs, Mr Carey con- tinues." Thas, an unlicensed boat ou entering with a cargo of salt fish paid,, benidos tariff duty on her cargo, six, espar- ate fees, Boma óf which were variable; in addition, she was subject to package and license fees which had to be calculated in oino different ways, according to whether she carried 10, 20, 30, or more pioule. By the revised method the same bost now paya & fixed license fee of Ts, 0.90, and TL0,18:4* en 'every pical of her targo. Broadly speaking, amalgamation consisted, as may be seen, in lumping the fees to- getber, and reducing the total, to round figaros for grantor convenience in caleal tion. Where this proques, owing to too grent a variety of charcos, was impracti cable, an average of the feas luviablé was taken and a rate favourable to the majority appliants sufopfod, Alldrance was made, where necessary, for the system of rebates that formerly existed; and the fact that certain goods enjoyed preferential rates was also taken into consideration. As result, the revised, foes, whilst not bo elastic as they ure under the ancien régitze do not differ in the aggregato frum what? tradere have been accustomed to pay from time.immemorial. It may be argued that A revision of the tariff itself would have been better than amalgamation of fece, and mere in accordance with mudurn eo nomie ideas But bosides the fact that this was beyond our power locally, some of the fees leviod are equivalent to tonnage dúce on reanuls, and would not therefore come with in the range of duty revision. Moreover, at several of our branch stations a tariff duties are levied, but moroly fees, pattek- ing of the nature of octroi, on domestic produce passing from place to place within |

the infer.

Other improvements followed the are algamation of leas. The oxchan:o care of the doilar was properly adjusted. Former ly it variod at the different stations between 010 and 1,000 cash; it is now accepted st All our aflees in payment of duties at the Girod rate of 1,108 cash. A book showing. in local currency, the duties and fees leviabie on ovory sticle ugasily imparted or export-

ed, and the dues on every beat entering | the inlet, was prepared, and is on sale to the public. The numerous cubicles forming the old office were done away with: durios and foes are now paid as one place and in one eum, the now method permitting every applicant-bo know exactly what he has to pay sud that he is being cor- reatly dealt with. The time saved in calculation is Cosnsideráble, and traders are no longer subjected to annoying delays. The staff was farther reduced: it now consists of 70 employés, who are comfortably house and well paid. The cost of collection is kept within a roagonable limits, and Do longer the division of an excessive surplus among a f parasitic drones. It would be, swarm of perhaps, too much to assort that irregula Aities do not exist, but their scope is

ertsibly extremely limited.

In 1905, the fourth year of our administration, the Native Customb revenue renched Tle. 61,897--more than seven times the amount formerly romitted to the Government. This excellent result must be attributed to an ihoreasingly! affective Duotrol, to the introduction of salutary reforms, and to the growing senso of confidence among traders which more business-like methods have inspired."
