THE SINGAPURI DOCKS.

Tanjong Pagar Dock Company has passed away in what we may term ka adolescence, as commercial undertakings grow. Its progress during the short forty years of its existence, remarks the Singapore Fice Press, showed that with careful, guidance and upbringing it had a brilliant future before it. Unfortunately a period was put on its development which has led to the change of guardians which takes place to-morrow (30th June), Govertiment will' in less than 4 hours formally take over what we think may be justly termed the most suc cessful commercial enterprise ever entered into by any body of men in "ingapore. That a con cern which in 185g set itself to capture some of the trade of the 1,447 vessels which annually arrived in Port, and which in 1867 berthed eighty steamers and forty-five-sailing 'vesuelo, and did $9,300 worth of repain in six months, should twenty years later show a wharf working account of seventy thousand odd dollars and dock and machine shop account of nearly the same amount, gives ́ample eviderice of vitality. In late years the earnings of the company amounted to over a million a year, whilst the half yearly balance on profit and loss, amounted last year to over a quarter of a million. Such is the business Govern- ment now takes over, "A business with miles, of wharf accommodation, docks, ship-building" and repairing shops, and a good-will · f in- estimable value, since it holds a practical monopoly of docking facilities.

The history of the Company has often been told, but that is no plea for not repeating some--** thing of it. The idea of docks occupied men's minds here as far back as 1845, when Mr. Jacob C'unis proposed the construction of a deck on land opposite the house of the late Sultan of Johore. It was to be 300 feet long and was to be ready in a year. The cast was estimated at $10,800, representing vastly different lafongkong Telegraph in the best amount to what it would to-day, and the proft was estimated at ten and a half per cent. It is a singular coincidence now that the present concern has reverted to Government, that a

The wharves and godowas were saved, but over forty thousand tons of coal burned, and the fire lasted a fortnight, The loss was estimated at over fifty-three thousand dollars, and yet the dividend of twelva per cent was not affected.

In recent times there was the anfortunate
