He had been in the Colony for fourteen years and had been a respected resident of the Japanese com- manity. The grounds of the application was the increase of the Japanese popula tion in the Colony and the immense in- crease in Japanese shipping during the past year. He had obtained an abstract from the assistant Harbour Master show- ing that in the first six months of this year there was an increase of 165,000 tons in Japanese shipping, the total tonnage of Japanese ships for the first six months of the year being 1,490,042, which, ho believed, was about one-fourth of the slip- ping-of-the Colony.
