In view of the above stated facts the Con-
-mittee of this Chamber trusts that the question as to how best
to work the Pilots Ordinance in the interests of the shipping
trade of this port, will receive the attention of His Excellency
the Governor and that, by a liberal extension of the number of
licences and further latitude in the matter of examinations,
the shipping companies will be able to again make use of the
services of those with whom they are entirely satisfied, and
a very deserving cless of men will therefore be no longer de-
-prived of employment in work for which in the majority of cases
they have proved themselves fitted.
It seems to the Committee a distinct hard-
-ship to both sides that when the shipping companies are satis-
-fied with their native pilots and these in turn are anxious
to continue working for them, they should be deprived of each
others services.
I have etc.,
(Sd.) A. B. Lowe,
Secretary.
