omble Mr. Whiteheat to the supposed neces sity of Harbour Board, shishy on, nocent of the fact that in former years the funds rasd for Light Baer td been more than stelent for the maintenance of the lights, and bo cries on the completion of the Gap Rock lightbonsa-this would probably occur again; and it is evident that the president of the Chamber of Commerce (from the point of view of what I by all the non-local shipownere) would like the cost of lights as well as all harbour expenses -to be paid from the rates But as regards tho mlieged surplus revenus from lights, it seems to be forgotten that beedas lighthouses there are other costly services, anohan the Harbour Master's establishment, barbabe Junobes, harbour polton, and the Observatory, involving on aggregate expenditure of some $80,000 per room, which are maintained for the benefit of the shipping, and which are principally maintained out of the ordinary taxation of the oniony. I tha, pare) law is correct as to the improbability of ship ning being driven away by the mill tur that would be necessary for the purpis, É think it toh well worth consideration whether it should not be imposed to the relief of other formis of baration. If, on a principle which I understand ia in force at Shanghai, vessels should be ex- ampted from payment more than macs in three mathe, I apprehand that the new tax wealt Tall lightly or not at all on the local ressis which contribute proportionately by far the larger boneßt to the colony, sid

I throw out this an pangibly a noful suggestion for the fatore, and I may add that any advantage which might otherwise novrug from a Harbour Board woolit be increased if it were empowered and required to raise from ehips all the funds which have to be exponded --for their benefit.
And now having.tualed on all the pents of this question which appear to Jemand attention," I asmmend theas remarka to the careful consideration d 1hs Connel and the commanity, with the sincere expres:
