It suggested two alternatives & cents a ton instead 2 i or a 2 graduated Charge according to the size of vessel.
In our calculations we did not allow for receipts from dues on native craft. If they are included, it appears that the receipts from taxes on shipping will about cover the cost of harbours, lights, & their appurtenances. European & American shipping are reduced to One cent.
On the other hand we would like the money for general Revenue.
I think the 2½ cents must stand.
I should be inclined to say that the dues are a fair way off meeting current expenditure, but in the face of the wording of Exp. 2 of 3982 I fear it must be submitted as it may cause disarrangement of the year's finances. Otherwise, they should be reduced, [to one cent if that will amply cover harbour & light expenses, or to 1½ cents if that sum does not cover that cost.]
It should be laid down that this decision has been mainly dictated by the fact that the shipping interests were given a reasonable expectation of a reduction when the Gap Rock lighthouse was paid for, and that if urgent necessity arises hereafter, the Secretary of State will have no hesitation in directing the charge to be raised again, as he has no reason to think that it has borne hardly on the shipping.
[I should put this last sentence in plainly in order to keep a free hand for the future].
