Paragraph 8.

I don't know

general public, may walk at their own sweet will.

what the "modern idea" may be, but certain it is that in all the most up-to-date offices in this Colony, the different branches of their business are always kept separate, and common sense dic- -tates that this ought to be so.

I have gone into this somewhat fully in the "Replies to Ques- -tions", but would like to add a comment on the penultimate sen- -tence of this Para:, "but perhaps this cannot properly be ex- "-pected from the head of a Department, especially from one who has "had a naval training”. I cannot see the bearing of this, which I

can only regard as a piece of impertinence, on the matter.

I quite agree with all this, but it is not always possible for either the Assistant Harbour Master cr me to be always in the office.

I do not know what this means. The Boarding Officers are not clerks, they are Master Mariners, and have nothing to do with ships certificates of registry. The Junk Inspectors have nothing to do with either certificates of registry or with the ships themselves. They all have their particular work to do, and this keeps them at work from 6 a.m. till sunset.

The explanation given is the correct one. Every facility and e encouragement is given to ships and Pessage Brokers; and I think that this is proved by the fact that no complaints are forthcoring, when one takes into account the rivalry between firms, and the con- -sequent, almost inevitable, allegations of favouritism, which should be expected. As a matter of fact, the shop which is sai- -ling first gets the preference; otherwise precedence is arranged by mutual agreement between the rival brokers.
