and $24 for every additional 300 tons.

(b) The above scale is for 12 months. For 6 months six-twelfths of the fee will be charged, for 9 months nine-twelfths, and so on, at the Tate of one-twelfth for each month; but no fee is to be less in amonat than three-twelfths. In all cases of new steamships, or of steamships coming under survey for a Passenger Certificate for the first time a full 12 months fee must be paid, notwithstanding that a certificate for 12 months may not be required, and in no case of an incomplete declaration will less than three-twelfths be charged.

(c) The fee paid in accordance with the foregoing scale covers any number of visits that a Surveyor may require to make before he is able to grant his declaration, as well as the inspection of the lights and fog-signals, and of the marking of the vessel, which inspection must be made by the Surveyor before he can grout his declaration. The fee does not, however, apply to or include any inspection of lights, fog- signals or marking made subsequently to the granting of the declara- tion.

(d) The above fee does not cover any service under the Chinese Passengers Act, 1855, or the Chinese Emigration Ordinance, 1889, or measurement for tonnage.

(b) A special survey is to be deemed to be a survey requiring more than two visits by a Government Surveyor or Surveyore, or a survey in cases in which from age or any other circumstances there are reason- ablo grounds for doubting the seaworthiness of the vessel. Where the case requires unusual attention and occupies an unusual amount of the Surveyor's time the higher fee of $60 and upwards will be charged, according to the special circumstances of the case and the number of visits made.

(c) Where a declaration has been granted for a steamship under section 10 (8) of this Ordinance, the survey under the Chinese Passeu- gers Act, 1855, or the Chinese Emigration Ordinance, 1889, will be nude on payment of half the usual foo mentioned above. The fee paid in accordance with the above scale covers the inspection of the lights and fog-signals, and of the marking of the vessel, made at the time of survey under the said Act or Ordinance. It does not, however, apply to, or include, any inspection of lights, fog-signals, or marking made subsequently to such survey.

(d) The fee for survey under the said Act or Ordinance does not cover any survey of a steamship for a Passenger Certificate under this Ordinance, or measurement for tonnage, or inspection of crew spaces.

(e) Travelling expenses (if any) and subsistence expenses (if any) due according to the scale authorised by the Governor will be charged in addition to the fees.
