Excellency the Governor had, on the 12th November, made a
private communication to the Unofficial Members of the
Legislative Council, to the effect that this additional levy,
if continued, was estimated to yield during the year 1897,
about $ 65,000, and that if it were withdrawn, the official
estimates of expenditure for the year 1897 would exceed
the revenue by that amount. He, therefore, requested
their opinion whether it would be preferable to continue
to levy Light Dues at the total rate of 2 cents per ton,
or to devise some alternative source of revenue in order
to make good the deficiency in the official estimates which
would result if the special charge of 13 cents per ton
were abolished, as suggested by the Chamber of Commerce.
Having regard to the dates of the letter from
the Chamber of Commerce (31st July 1896) and of His
Excellency the Governor's communication to the Unofficial
Members (12th November 1895), it seems unquestionable that
the estimates referred to in the latter must have been
prepared by the Government at a considerably later date
than the question of abolishing the additional levy was
brought to their notice, whilst the financial difficulty
