There is a fair subject of Inquiry ready to hand, Indicated In the Secretary of State's despatch already referred to and by the corres- pondence already in existence on the subject of Light Dues. That inquiry is simple: How much of the annual expen- diture of the Colony Is Incurred on account of Shipping? Should such ex- penditure be recovered direct from the shipping in the shape of tonnage, harbour, and light dues, or should the general revenue bear this expenditure to the exoneration of the shipping.
