General improvement in the efficiency of
this Department through the possibili- -ty of communication with this office out of office hours, which is not practicable at present.
Notification of the approach of their
vessels to Mercantile Firms would be issued from this office by
telephone, or in writing. (the former for preference), to such
firms as desire it, and pay a fee as at present.

The Meteorological Reports from Gap Hook
Cape D'Aguilar, and the Fear Signal Station, which are now sent
thence to the Telegraph Office, and transmitted from there to the
Observatory, would arrive here instead, and be transmitted by us
to the Telegraph Office, either by telephone or in writing, as
may be desired.

£100 per annum is now paid to the Tele-
-graph Company for the work done for this Department. This sum
would be saved, as would be whatever sum now received by the
Wharf and Godown Company for their services see 3, (e). I can
find no record of any such sum being paid, but presume that there
is such a charge.

approximately £150, apportioned as follows:-
Four Recording instruments at £25. Two kelays for ditto..... .at £5.
