The work has greatly increased of late years, and it fre-

quently happens that vessels enter the harbour from both

ends simultaneously. In order to prevent undue detention of

ships, it is necessary that two officers be maintained. The

revenue derived from the shipping will amply serve to de-

fray the small additional cost involved in this change, the

amount collected in 1900 for permits to work cargo on Sun-

days alone amounting to $43,550, or an increase over that

of the previous year of $21,725.

I have etc.,

(Sa.) R. Chatterton Wilcox.
