During the year a reorganisation of deck labour has been effected, the point aimed at being the elimination, so far as is! practicable, of the casual labourer. This, it appears, is not wholly feasible, since there are certain seasonal trades, such as those in wool and fruit, which require the temporary engagement of a large number of additional hands. Many of these, however, only come to the docks when attracted by the larger carnings then practicable. The plan adopted has involved the formation of a large staff of permanent labourers, whose engage- ment is terminable on either side on seven days' notice. The wages commence at 285. per week and rise to 30s., with extre pay for overtime. These labourers wili- be given six days' leave annually in addition to the statutory holidays. They will not receive pensions, but may in exceptional cases by granted retiring allowances. The total revenue of the port for 1913 was £3,434,453, and the expendi ture 24.217,822, leaving a net revenue of £1,916,631. Of this, fixed charges absorb £32,766, and after provision for sinking TELEPHONE NO. 212. funds, the writing off of certain extra- ordinary outlays for repairs and
