and as none of the wharves are ida), though some are not used for ferry purposes, this total - 87,330 may safely be taken as m outside figure of the ring's amual wharf rent.

4.

The profits of the concern are large, as the following figures shew. Fares are 5 cents first class, and thres cents second with an added cent after night-fall; in this rough estimate they have been taken as uniformly three cents. The service is composed of 8 launches regularly on the run: and the averge value of the launches averaged over the 24 that have been recently used is 88,208 per launch.

One set of four launches makes m average of 34 single trips per launch per day: and an estimate based on general observation makes the average number of passengers per launch

80. the Daily total of passengers on this line is therefore

4 x 34 x 80: - 10,880

(An actual count of all the passengers throughout the day on December 1st carried out by the Police, made the total for this

line 11,552).

The other set of four launches makes a average

of 32 single trips per launch per day, with an estimated total of 50 passengers per launch. Daily total therefore

4 x 32 x 50: 6,400

(The Police count as above made the actual number of December 1st a perfectly normal day,7,747).

The grand total carried may be taken therefore (on all eight launches per day) as 17,280; which at 3 cents represents total daily takings of 8518.40, or yearly takings of

8189,216.
