The gross revenue of the Harbour De- partment for 1914 was L, derived tom boat and junk licences, light dues, &c. There are no port dues.
The eastern channel already provides a
depth of 40 ft. (L.W.). Vassels of 1,000 ft. in length and of 100 ft. beam could swing at their moorings in eastern part of harbour in not less than 36 ft. (L.W.).
