Jfbr the Year ended 31st Dece1nber, 1902.

DREDGING FOR THE IMPROVE IENT OF THE HARBOUR.- uction Dredger No. 3 worked throughout the year in the RiY r Channel, on the North side between the North Bull Lighthou e and o. 5 Concrete Beacon, deepening the Channel. The Dredger wa attended by , 'team !lopper Barges o. 6 and No. 7. Thi plant wa exclusively engaged in the improvement of the Harbour, and 617 600 tons of sand and gravel were dredged and carried out to sea. The Bucket Dredger o. 4 and o. 5 were engaged for more than three months on improvement dredging, and 43,965 ton were dredged to deepen the River Channel at the berths occupied by the :Morecambe teamers and the Dublin General Steam hipping Company, where the Quay Wall had be n rehnilt, or d pened.

In the Alexandra Basin 39.745 tons were dredged in deep ning the Berth at the _ ew 'rimber wharf adjoinincr th Sliiphuilding Yard, and in the ext n ion of the Ba in.

DREDGI G FOR TIIE MAINTENANCE OF TIJE HARllOUR.-For about 11ine month of the ·em· the Bucket Dredgers o, 4 or o. 5, Hopper Barges os. 3, 4 and 5, and the Tugs " fojestic" and" Numl,er One" were engaged in dredging and carrying out to sea mud raised in the :Maintenance of the Harbour. In the early part of th year o. 4 Bucket Dredger worked on the , outh side of the Channel west of Common -street in front of the berths at ity Quay and George's Quay. Subsequently thi Dredger was replaced by Jo. 5 Bucket Dredger, and thi ves el dre rlged e hie1ly at the Ro uth side of the Channel opposite the _ orth Quay E."ten ion, between the North Wall Lighthouse and the mouth of the River Dodder. The total tonnage tlredg d in the Maintenance of th, 11arhour was 196,150 ton

This represents an increa se of 191,790 tons in Improvement Dredf!ing and a decrease of 102, 2'10 tons in M11intemmce Dredging, or a net increa of H,550 tons above the quantity dredged in HlOl.

DREDGING ON DunLI BAn.-The Ruction Hopper Dredger " ereus II.," belonging to the Contractors, 1es rs. Kali & Co., of liedrecht, in Holland, dredged lol,5 4 cnbic metres of sand on Dublin Bar during the year. Of this quantity, 151,210 cubic metre wer • pumped a hore for the purpose of reclamation at the orth sid of the Alexandra Basin, and l 0,37 4 cubic metres carried out to sea. As in former year , the drrdgincr operations have been carried on at the north side of the Channel acros the Bar.

ince the beginning of the co11tract 35 ,3~14 cuLic metres have been dredged 011 the Bar, of which 317,961 cubic metres have been pumped on hore, and 40,433 cubic metres deposited at ea.

Although the contract period of two years expired on the 1st of July, only about two-thirds of the quantity fixed in the contract had been dredged, and as the Board had not plant of their own ready to dredge on the Dar, it was dccidccl to allow Messrs. Kalis to continue dredging.

RECLAUIED LANDS.-Tlrn piling and timber work have been continued along the Southern frontage of the reclaimed lands, to prevent the sand which is pumped ashore from flowing out into the Alexandra Basin.

The Alexandra Road has been extended to the eastern boundary of the premi. es of the AngloAmerican Oil Company. 'l'he roadway has been pitched and coated wit11 lH'oken stone, and the footpaths haye been formed.

The four-inch water main has been extended along this road to the eastern boundary of Messrs. Goulding's premises, and a branch has also been laid into the Graving Dock premises. The work has been dune by the Waterworks C9111mittee at the cost of the Port. This new main will giYe increased security against fire, and al o permit of a better water service for the Graving Dock, the Dublin Dockyard Company, a~1d the Anglo-American Oil Company.

NoRTII QUAY DEF.PENING.-The nnderpinning of the quay wall at the Eastern J!'erry Steps, and the berth of the Dublin General Steam Shipping Company, was successfully completed in March. The old quay wall at thi berth was only founded 11 feet below low water. The new base has been carried clown to 20 feet under low water, so as to correspond in depth with the adjacent quay walls.

By the middle of May about 360 feet of dam and staging had been removed, and at the beginning of August the dredging of the berths of the Morecambe Steamers and Dublin General Steam Shipping Company was completed and the berLhs occupied by these Companies.

The further progl'ess of the wol'k was greatly hampered by the delay in getting posse sion of the Glasgow berths. The Board finally decided that these berths should be reconstructed in two sections, and on the 15th of October the eastern berth, occupied jointly by the '· Laird Linc" and "Duke Line'' steamers, was vacated by the Companies It was immediately taken possession of for the reconstrnction of the quay wall.

The total length of deepened quay wall opened to u e during the year was 340 feet.

TRAJ\IWAYS.--Ileavy repairs were clone to the Tramways on Sir John Hogerson's Quay, rented by the Alliance Gas Uompany, and to those used by the City of Dublin Company on the North Wall and Guild-street. These latter lines will require reconstruction in the near future, as both timber sleepers and steel rails are neady worn out.

NORTH AND SOUTH QUAY .-Portions of the Custom IIou e Quay at the shipping gangwayti of the Clyde Shipping Uompany's berth were paved with sets to facilitate the trucking of fragile ~oods.

A 3 tons Hand Crane was erected on the North Quriy Extension at the quay facing the Alexandra Basin for the use of the Timber Trade.

The footpath along the north side of George's Quay, eastward of the City Refuse Whal'f, has been repaired with channel paving blocks.

CusTOl\I IIousE DocKs.-Th~ base of the boundary wall along Commons-street, from the ground leYel to the string course, was pointed. The kylight of Stack A, and the external timber work of Stack D, the old Tobacco Yard Stores, and the 'l'ransit Shed, were painted. The footbridges at both the Old Dock entrance and George's Dock entrance were reconstructed, as the timber work in the old bridges was greatly tlecayed. A foundation pit for a new wcighbl'idge at the coal wharf of .M:ess1", Tedcastlc, M•Oormick & Co. in the Inner Dock was built, the cost being defrayed by the firm.

Srrnos.-Two additional openings, with rolliug gates, were made in the river face of the Shed allocated to the London and North Western Railway Company at its western end, and the foundations for two hydraulic cranes were constructed. The roof was also braced to resist the racking action of the cranes. An invoice office was erected in the new eastern extension of this Shed.

The alterations to this Sl1ed are troublesome, and the progress slow, a the work has to be carried out so as to interfere as little as pos ible with tlie haffic arrangements of the Company. The cu t of these alterations is defrayed by the Railway Company.

PILOT SERVICE.-The following repairs have been carried out on the three Pilot vessels:-

On the cutter "Rnnie '' exten ive repairs were made to the rudder, anchor windlass and gip y winch. All the blocks were renewed and the deck caulked throughout.

On the S.S. " Dolores'' the deck hou e was removed and the deck made good. A wheel house was erected and the boiler repaired. All these alterations and repairs were carried out so a to meet the requirements of Lloyd's Committee.

On the S.S. " Energy " the taffrail was renewed.

HARBOUR MASTEit' DEPARTMENT.--The caretaker's premi es at 47 City Quay were thorourrhly repaired, painted and papered. A timber hailing hut for the Harbour lfaster's man on duty was erected at the eastern end of the RivP.r Quay of the North Quay Extension.

SmrBUILDING YARD WnARF.-The Board has constructed a timber wharf along the eastern watet· frontage of tlie yard, and dredged the berth so as to give a depth of 12 feet alongside at low water. A piled foundation for a crane was constructed at the ame time Since its completion the wharf has been constantly occupied, and has proved a great advantage in case of ship repairs.

The first steamer built by the Dublin Dockyard Company wa launched in the mouth of October.

u~Kl!:N ,\NO DERELICT VESSF.L .-Dnring the year nine wreck or derelict Ye els were broken up or removed from the east cud of the Alexandra Basin. Five were floated OYer to Ring end to be broken up, and four were broken up in situ. The Basin is now free from the e unsightly ob tructions.

REPORT.

TIIE accompanying Statement of Tonnage Dues shows that the total registered tonnage that entered the Port of Dublin in 1903 was 2,028,011 tons, being 30,238 tons less than in 1902.

The several classes of trade were affected as follows :-

The registered tonnage from Continental and other Oversea Ports shows a net increase of 8,222 tons; steamers contributing an increase of 13,195 tons, while sailing veRsels decreased 4,973 tons.

In the Coasting and general Cross-channel trade the tonnage of steamers decreased 45,922 tons, and sailing vessels 6,269 tons.

Stearn colliers increased 14,290 tons; while sailing colliers decreased 559 tons.

The receipts from Tonnage Dues, including £132 18s. 7J. Timber Dues arrears from 1902, and exclusive of Net Rates, were £60,915 6s. lld ., being £2,\:,78 10s. lld. less. than in the year 1902.

MEMBERS.

Mr. George Bell having been returned as a Shipping Member at the election in January, 1903, proceedings were instituted that he was not qualified to act . On the 19th June, the Court of King's Bench gave judgment that Mr. Bell was not qualified as a Shipping Member of the Board, and he retired accordingly.

In the month of November, 1903, Captain Weatherill notified to the Board that objection had been made to his qualification as a Shipping Member. Subsequently, proceedings were taken against him in the Police Court, when the Magistrate decided that he did not possess the statutable qualification. Captain Weatherill resigned his seat accordingly.

In compliance with the provisions of the Dublin Port and Dock s Act, 1898, the Returning Officers attended at the offices of the Board on the 4th January, 1904,

pursuant to the regulations for conducting Elections of Members of the Dublin Port and Docks Board, when tho following Candidates were duly proposed and seconded as TRADERS' Members :-Messrs. William Crowe, Marcus Good body, John Mooney, William wallace. There being no more persons nominated than the advertised number -of vacancies, the Returning Officers declared these gentlemen duly elected.

The following Candidates were nominated as SHIPPING Members :-Messrs. Walter Baird, John Gibbs, William Hewat, James Laidlaw, George MacniE>, Samuel S. M'Cormick, James D. O'Connor.

'fhe Election took place on Tuesday, lith January, 1904. The Returning Officers subsequently declared that Messrs. Walter Baird, James D. O'Counor, William Hewat, George Macnie, Samuel S. M'Cormick, were duly elected Shipping Members to fill the five vacancies on the Board.

THE DUBLIN PORT D DOCKS ACT, 1902.

The Board took the necessary steps to put in force Sections 40 and 41 of the Act in respect of raising in 1903, as near as possible £8,000 by Rates on Goods. The sum raised within the year (.£9,595) being in excess of the estimate, relief is being given by levying a lower rate for the year 1904.

The Board, at the ame tim e, proceeded to carry out the further requirements of Section 41 of the Act, to raise in 1903 as near as po . sible .£8,000, in respect of Tonnage Ra.tes by levying a ".r et Rate" in addition to the Tonnage Rates. Objection was made by certain Steam Packet Companies to the proposed Net Rate, and subsequently a case, "The City of Dublin Steam Packet Company v. The Board," was tried before the Court of King's Bench, when the cause shown by the Board was disallowed, and an Order made quashing the Rate, which was afterwards affirmed by the Court of Appeal.

In the month of November la::st, the Board, under the advice of Counsel, pas1?ed resolutions fur the levying of Tonnage Rates for the year 1904, as well as for Goods Rates.

On the first January, 1903, the Collection of Tonnage Rates was transferred from the Custom House to the Port Offices in Westmoreland Street, where Dues on Goods, as well s.s the City Dues on Shipping are collected.

DREDGI G.

In the month of June last Messrs. Kalis & Company satisfactorily completed their Contract for Dredging the Bar with their Suction Dredger "Nereus II." The total

,quantity dredged was 750,263 tons, and the amount paid Messrs. Kalis & Co., £20,466 7s . 4d.

The following were the number of tons raised by the Board's Dredgers:-

For the Improvement of the River Channel there were 400,090 tons dredged, -costing £11,442 16s. 10d. against 693,510 tons, costing £8,160 2s. l0d., in 1902; for Maintenance Dredging, 218,200 tons, costing £5,540 17s. 0d., against 196,150 tons, costing £6,792 3s. 2d., in 1902.

SUCTION HOPPER DREDGER.

Dredging the River Channel and Bar, including new :Plant, being the first work , 11amed in the 98th Section of the Act of 1902, to be paid for out of borrowed moneys, the Board took early steps to invite tenders for a powerful Suction Dredger. On the recommendation of the Engineer the Board accepted a Tender of Messrs. Smit and Zoon of !Kinderdyk for £29,750. The Engineer recently inspected the Dredger and reported that •considerable progress had been made, and that the workmanship was satisfactory.

TUG STEAMER.

The Board advertised for Tenders for a Steel Single Screw Tug Steamer for the -services of the Port. The Tender of the Dublin Dockyard Company was accepted for the sum of £7,850. 'The work is progressing satisfactorily, and the Tug is expected to be completed in July of thiis year.

100 TON CRANE.

Representations having been made to the Roard as to thfl necessity of providing a beavy lift Crane for the use of the Port; th e Board entered into a Contract to provide an Electric Crane capable oflifting loads up to 100 tons, for the sum of £7,824, the foundations for the Crane to be prepnred by the Board at an additional estimated outlay of £2,700.

NORTH QUAY DEEPENING.

The rebuilding of the Qu ay Walls at the Glasgow Berths is making satisfactory progress. The Engineer reported "that a further length of 300 feet of staging and -cofferdam had been removed, and the dredging of th e berth in front of the new wall was in progress."

ENGINEER'S REP0R1'

Itor the Year ended 31st December, _l 903.

DREDGING FOR THE IMPROVE:\1:ENT OF THE HARBOUR.-Suction Dredger No. 3 worked on the north side of the Channel to the westward of No 5 Beacon Tower, during the months of January and February. This dredger was then laid up for the purpose of carrying out some heavy repairs. During the last half •of the year Bucket Dredgers Nos. 4 and 5 were engaged on improvement dredging on the north side of the Channel, between the entrance to the Alexandra Basin and No. 2 Perch. Towards the end of the year No. 5 Bucket Dredger began deepening in front of the new quay wall west of the Morecambe berth. A serious breakdown in this dredger's machinery has delayed the progress of this work.

DREDGING FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE HARBOUR. - During the first half of the year No. 5 Bucket Dredger worked on the south side of the Channel, opposite the North Quay Extension, removing mud for the maintenance of the Harbour. No. 4 Bucket Dredger was similarly employed on the north centre of the channel, opposite the berths occupied by the British and Irish Steam Packet Company and the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, and also in t he mouth of the Dodder, opposite Great Britain quay.

The following is a summary of the tonnage dredged in 1903 :-

For the Improvement of the Harbour

For the Maintenance of the Harbour

Total dredged, exclusive of Builder's Sand and Ballast

400,090 tons

218,200 ,,

618,290 tons

This total represents a decr~ase of 271,170 tons when compared with the tonnage dredged in 1902. The reduction is due to the dredging being done chiefly by the Bucket Dredgers in a part of the Harbour urgently requiring deepening, but where the ground is unsuitable for suction dredging.

DREDGING ON DUBLIN BAR.-Early in June Messrs. Kalis & Company, of Sliedrecht, Holland, completed their contract for dredging 425,000 cubic metres, or 750,000 tons of sand on Dublin Bar. The amount dredged in 1903 was 66,684 cubic metres. Of this quantity 63,861 cubic metres were pumped on .shore for the purpose of reclam.ation north of the Alexandra Basin, and 2,823 cubic metres deposited at sea

Since the beginning of the contract 425,078 cubic metres, or 750,263 tons, have been dredged, of which ~81,822 cubic metres have been pumped on shore, and 43,256 cubic metres have been deposited at sea.

Messrs. Kalis & Company completed their contract with their Suction Hopper Dredger "Nereus IL" in a very satisfactory manner. Their work was confined to the north side of the Channel across the Bar, where shoaling was discovered by Captain Pirie's survey of 1899. It is satisfactory to note that since this dredging has been done, no groundings of vessels have been reported on this part of the Bar.

As the Board could not obtain suitable dredging plant of their own in less than a year, Messrs. Kalis & Company were offered an extension of their contract at the original rates. They were, however, unwilling to continue dredging except at considerably increased rates. The Board, therefore, decided to suspend further operations on the Bar until their own dredger was ready.

4

SucTION HOPPER DREDGER CoNTRACT.-A contract was entered into with Messrs. Smit & Zoon, of Kinderdijk, Holland, to build a suitable dredger for the work on the Bar. This vessel is to be delivered in July, 1904.

SCREW TuG STEAMER CoNTRACT.-A contract was entered into with the Dublin Dockyard Company for an additional Tug Steamer somewhat similar to the S. T. "Majestic," which has proved such a valuable addition to the Board's plant. The new vessel is to be delivered in July, Hl04.

HEAVY LIFT CRANE CoNTRACT.-The need of a heavy lift crane has been greatly felt in the Port of Dublin, and after careful consideration the Board decided to invite tenders for a crane capable of dealing with loads up to 100 tons. The tender of the Vereinigte Maschinenfabrik Augsburg und Maschinebaugesellschaft urnberg A. G., was accepted. The crane i to he worked electrically, and the electrical equipment will be supplied by Messrs. Siemens Brothers, of London. The foundations will be constructed by the Port Board, who will also supply the current for working the crane.

NORTH QUAY DEEPENING.-The progress of the North Quay Deepening has been materially interfered with by having to confine the operations of rebuilding the quay wall to one berth at a time. A further length of 300 feet of staging and cofferdam ha s been removed, and the dredging of the berth in front of the new wall is in progress.

HEDS.-Shed No. 1 on the North Quay Extension has been extended 100 feet to the eastward so a · to reduce the inconvenience caused to the oversea trade, through the temporary occupation of a portion of the Shed by the Glasgow Steamers of the "Duke" and "Laird" lines, during the deepening of their regularberths.

The alterations to the Shed allocated to the London and orth Western Railway Company have been continued throughout the year; the work being done at the expense of the Company. These alterations are troublesome and costly, as they have to be carried out so as to interfere as little as possible with the use of the berths and shed. During the storm on the night of February 26-27 about 24.0 feet in length of the Shed allocated to the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company was destroyed. This has been rebuilt, and was reoccupied by the Company on the 14th of August.

LIGHTHOUSES.-In the storm on the night of February 26-27 the Ship " Forrest Hall" broke adrift from its moorings on the North Quay Extension, and came into collision with the eastern end of the River wall, damaging it badly, and destroying the _:rorth Wall Lighthouse. The damaged portion of the quay wall has been rebuilt, and a piled platform has been made to carry the new Lighthouse. A steel tower is in course of construction, and a new lantern and dioptric apparatus and self-registering tide gauge have been ordered. The Board recovered the estimated cost of the damage from the "Forrest Hall."

The foundations for the new lighthouse on the Eastern Breakwater have been completed, and the brick tower is in progress. The lantern and dioptric apparatus have been ordered.

EASTERN RREAKWATER.-Rubble is being delivered for the breakwater, and the necessary plant is being prepared for pressing on with this work.

REVENUE SERVICE.-In consequence of changes made by the Customs Department, the hailing hut on the North Quay Extension, opposite the Revenue Watch House, was vacated by the Revenue Officers. It was subsequently handed over to the Harbour Master for his men, and connected with the Harbour Office by telephone.

At the instance of the Customs Authorities an office and lock-up has been urovided for their use in.

-~ o. 2 Shed on the North Onav Rxten!linn.

DEEP-WATER JETTY.-The construction of a Deep-Water Jetty immediately East of the Graving Dock has been begun. This will provide berthage for the vessels engaged in the home and oversea trade, and relieve some of the pressure on the Extension Quays.

CUSTOM HousE DocKs AND WAREHOUSEs-Old Dock.-In consequence of the water running out of the Old Dock, through defects in the sea gates and sill,1the gates were lifted and brought to the Port Yard for repairs. It was hoped that repairs to the gates alone would prove sufficient, but when the gates were replaced after repair the leakage ,vas still found to be too great, and a dam was constructed across the entrance, and the dock pumped out. The cast-iron sill was then found so defective that it was taken up and renewed. A leakage from the Dock through some old drains was also discovered, and this has been materially reduced. The removal of the dam and foreshore are in progress, and it is expected that the Dock will be available for shipping about the middle of February.

Stark W.-The ruined portion of Stack W. has been practically reconstructed by very heavy repairs to the roof, the removal of the partition walls, and the substitution of pillars to support the roof. A useful timber store has thus been formed, while the vaults below are protected from the rain.

New Roadicay.-As it was decided to let the ground at the west end of the Inner Dock for the storage of Cl)al, it was found necessary to make a new approach to Messrs. Heiton's coalbanks at the north side of the Inner Dock. With this object a paved roadway has been made in front of Vaults Z., with a new paved approach to Vaults X. In connection with this work it was found desirable to take down Stack little C. and the three vaults below it, and to level the ground. These stores were practically derelict.

NORTH QUAY ExTENSION.-The paving of the North Quay Extension has been considerably extended during the year. Five paved crossings were made from the~River Quay, east of No. 1 Shed, and a paved central roadway formed westward of the Sheds. Four _large-size Kitson petroleum vapour lamps were erected along the centre of these quays.

RECLAL\IED LANDS.-As already referred to 112,715 tons of sand were pumped ashore during the year, and a considerable area of land brought to the finished level.

The Alexandra-road has been extended 560 feet further East, and the branch road between Messrs. Goulding's works and the Anglo-American tank storage ground has been pitched and coated with broken stone. Eight gas lamps have been erected between the East Wall and the Anglo-American Oil Company's premises.

TRAMWAYS.-The heavy repairs to the tramway in Guild-street, referred to in the Engineer's Report for 1902, have been continued. The lines are now in reasonable repair, although there are indications that the rails will require renewal before long.

The tramway constructed on City-quay at the instance of Messrs. M'Cormick in the year 1 91 has been removed, as it was no longer required. The cost of its removal was defrayed by Messrs. Tedcastle, M'Cormick & Company.

WEST QUAY WALLS A.i.~D BRIDGEs-O'CoN ELL AND BuTT BRincrn1'l.-The lamps and iron work of the bridges and the life ladders on these quays were painted.

Total

For Ballast and Builders' Sand Gross

The tonnag clredged in imprm·ing and maintaining the Harbour i • 203,505 tons in excess 0£ the tonnage dredged in H)O:J. The increase is due to Xo. 3 Suction Dredger h:.wing been at work most of the year.

The dredging for iruprowment was chiefly clone in the nver ehannel on the north side between the Beacon Lighthouse and the Xorth Wall Lighthouse, in the Alexandra Ba in, and at the orth Quay Deepening. 'The maintenance dredging wa chiefly carried out in the nver channel to the we hrnrd 0£ the Dodder, the \..le:x:nndrn Basin, and the Custom House Docks.

Romw Teo , TEAMER C'oxTRACT. - The Board's nPw Tug "Anna Li:ffey," c·onstrueted hy the Dublin Dockyard Company, was succes fully lamwhecl and ent to the ()}yde for engines and boiler. The vessel return eel to Dublin under its own steam, and l><'gan towing for the Board in the month of June.

The trials proved in every respect atisfactory, hut during the period 0£ maintenance prescribed in the contract, serious injury was done to the boiler through the negligence 0£ the engine builder's man in charge 0£ the machinery. This hn , invohed heavy repairs and renewals, and the ves el is still in the contnwtor's hnn<ls.

SUCTION IlorPER DnEnGER CoxTHACT. - 'l'he Suction Hopper Dredger, " 'andpiper, '' built £or the Board by ~Iessrs. Smit & Zoon, of Kinderclijk, Holland, ha been delivered. The ,essel has been pecially designed and built for the purposr of dredging on Dublin Bar. The dredger i undergoing its trials, and the results so .far must be eonsiderPd satisfactory in view of the exceptiona1ly difficult dredging met with on Dublin Bar.

DREDGBR "CoQ l~T."-'l'he Board purchased the dredger "Coquet" from the Warkworth llarbour Commissioners. The YC.'ssel i of a composite character, being fitted up as a suction dredger, a grab dredger, and a 20-tons lifting shears. The vessel has already proved useful, and yromise to be an important addition to the Board's :floating plant,

LIGHTHOUSES-Eastern Breakwater Lighthouse. The new lighthouse on the pier head or the Eastern Breakwater was completed and the light exhibited on the 1st of August. The building is a square brick tower, which contains accommodation for the lightkeepers on duty, the fog bell, and its machinery, as well as the light apparatU'J. The light i a red light, flashing every six seconds. The dioptric apparatus and machinery ,vere manufactured hy )Iessrs. Chance Brother

North Wall Lighthouse. - A new lighthouse was eredcd at the end of the orth Quay Extension to take the place of the timber lighthouse destroyed liy the ship "Forrest llall" during the great storm of February, 190:·{. 'fhe new lighthouse is a steel plate circular tower. It contains accommodation for the lightkeepcr on duty, a self-registering Lord Kelvin tide-gauge, ah,o the fog bell and machinery, and the light apparatus. The dioptri c apparatus was constructed h.,· Messrs. Chance Brothers. The new light was exhihit<.'d on the 1st of ~\.ugust. Its character is a white light, flashing every two seeonds.

Poolbeg Liglithou se. - The old decayed timber floors in l!oolliE>g Lighthouse haYc been removed, and two of them replaced with floors of steel and r·oJH'l'etC>. Two floors have been omitted as unnecessary, antl the cirC'ular stairs altered to suii.. The cfl'ect has been to make the tower more roomy and lightsoml'. .A. duplicafo Ilolmes' Riren has heen erPded, and thP wroughtiron work of the gas-holders has been renewed.

IlEAVY LIFT CRANE. - The piled foundation and ma onry ba ·e for the 100-tons electric crane was completed in August, and the contractors immediately lwgan tlw erPction of the steel work. At the end of the year the trestle, the central reYolving pillar, anrl tlw <"Ountcrwcight arm wcrP errcted.

NoRTII QrrAY DEEPEXIXG.-The dredging of the new deepwater herth immediat<>ly we't of the Morecambe steamers' berth was completed by the end of February, and the Glasgow outward steamers wern immediately berthed there. On the 1st of March the old we,dem berth allocated to the "Duke" line was taken possession 0£ £or the purpose of re-con. trudicrn. At the· dose of the year the remainder of the staging and dam for this section of the worl · had been <lriYe11. .1.\. length of 244 feet of new quay wall was raised t.o coping level. Two hundred feet of new wall waA founded, and a further length of 100 feet 0£ old quay wall removed, and the e_·cavation carried down to ten feet under low water level. The progres • of this work has been greatly retarded by having to rebuild the wall in short lengths of one berth at a time.

GRAVIt--(, DocK. The old fashioned shape of tlw graYing dock prewutc<l many modern vessels with very fl.at floors from using the dock, although the length of clod~ and depth of water was sufficient. To remedy this defect all the lower altars have been set hack. The work, although of considerable magnitude, wa completed in seven months, without interfering with the use 0£ the dock by the public . By this improvement the usefulness of the dock has been greatly enhanced. Four hand-power capstans have been erected, two on each side of the dock.

GRAHNG SLIP, Ko. 2.-A. new hauling-up winch, made by Messrs. Day, Summers & Co., has been erected. This is fitted with a wire rope, and is to be driven by an electric motor. A new carriage for the slip is in course 0£ construction.

NoRTII QtTAY EXTENSION PAYL·a.-D uring the year about 11,000 square yards 0£ set- p av ing were laid on the North Quay extension. The whole su l' facc from the North Wall entrance gates to the R evenue station is now paved. This has proved of great advantage to the heavy cartage on these quays, and has materially reduced the nuisance caused by dust.

SrrED - The extensive alterations to the shefl allocated to the London and orth Wester n Railway Company, made at the in tance of the company and carried out at their expense, h ave been finished. These comprised the alteration of the position of the openings of the shed on the river side and of the cranes to suit the new berthage arrangements of the company's steamers. .A. new approach from the quay to the western sub-way was made. The work had to be carrie d out so as not to interfere with or interrupt the goods and passenger traffic at these berths. This neressarily made the work slow and costly. It is gratifying that, in £ace of all these difficult i es , the alterations were completed satisfactorily and without accident or mishap.

DEJ<W-WATER JETTY rn TUE .A.LJ, XAXRDA ]3Asn. - The deep-water jetty to the eastward 0£ the graving <lock, 200 feet in length, has been completed. The berth alongside has been dredged so as to give a depth of 23 feet at low water. The Board has decided to extend this jetty eastward, so as to connect it with the jetty used by the Ang]o-American Oil Company . When this is completed there will be a continuous length of about 4:)0 feet of deep-water jetty.

RECLAIMED Lx~m .-.A. new paved road ha been formed leading from the Alexandra. Road along the east side of tho graving dock stores, to giYe access to the deep-water jetty. To afford suitable quay accommodation and space for the clist harge of large cargoes the Board has given notice to the .Anglo-American Oil Company of their intention to re ume possession 0£ a portion o£ the southern lot held by the company. The graving dock premises have been enclosed on their eastern ide by a timber paling, and the boundary wall on the Eat Wall has been extended northward.

EASTERN BREAKWATER AXD THE Bx.TEN ION OF THE ALEXA ." DRA BASIN. The piling £or the staging in connection with the construction 0£ the East.Prn Brt•ak IY,,t<·r and the reclamation fo the north of the ..\..lexandra basin extension has been in progress throughout the year. Ahout 4/i00 feet 0£ staging piles have been driven on the eastern and northern £aces, and about ;J,000 feet 0£ piling to form the basin sides 0£ the new reclaimed lands. ( her G,U00 tons 0£ stones have been deposite d to form the sea £ace of the Eastern Breakwater.

DRF.DGING-Dredging within the Harbour.-Thc following 1s a summary of the tonnage dredged within the Harbour in 1905 :-

For the Improvement of the Harbour

For the Maintenance of the Harbour

Total

For Ballast and Builders' Sand

Gross total dredged 640,710 tons 1 3,890 tons 13,063 tons 39,663 tons

The dredging for improvement wa chiefly done on the north side of the river channel b etween the Beacon Lighthous and the Eastern Breakwater Lighthouse, and also in front of the new quay w..i.11 at the berths allocated to the Glasgow trade. The dredging for maintenanre wa principally done in the river channel to the westward of Commons Street, the Alexandra Basin, the Cu tom Hou e Docks, and the mouth of the River Dodder.

Dredging on the Bar.-During the year, 20:1:,:350 tons of sand and gravel were dredged on Dublin Bar. Of this amount 84,-131 tons were pump don shore to the north of the Alexandra Basin or at the Eastern Breakwater, and 119,916 tons were carried out to sea.

ScREW STEA~1 TuG CoNTRACT.-The contract p3riod of maintenance of the Board' new tug "Anna Liffey" was completed in March, and the ves el has b en in commis ion during the remainJer of the year, and has worked satisfactorily.

SucTION HOPPER DREDGER CoNTRACT.-The contract period of maintenance of th -3 Suction Hopper dredger " andpiper" was completed in July, when the Dutch crew returned to Holland, and the vessel was taken over by the Port Board. Throughout the year the ve33el worked on Dublin Bar. Th grounJ hafl bPen found exceptionally difficult to dredge.

HEAVY LIFT CRANE.-Th erection of the 10'.) ton electric crane wa completed hy th° Contractors in July, and passed the specified tests with a load of l 50 tons sati factorily. Current for workin~ the crane has been temporarily supplied from a portion of the plant us d at the North Quay Deep ning Works. and a cable was laid for the transmission of current from a temporary station at the Glasgow berths. This cable will form part of the permanent electrical equipm~nt of the Port when th ~ Bo :ml's Electric Generating Station is completed. The crane has proveJ a distinct advantage to the Port. Its value will, however, be much enhanced when the tramways along the North Qtiay Extension are laid to it.

ORTH QuAY DEEPENING.-At the end of the year the rebuilding of the quay wall at the Gla gow berths and the dredging of the bed of the river in front was completed, and on the 15th of December the "Duke Line" steamer "Dt1ke of Gord0n " occupied the west3rn berth. The joint berths have been regularly worked since, and several small coasting vessels have been discharged at the public berth between the Glasgow and Heysham allocations.

To avoid having to discharge trained men from the Deepening Works, preparations for rebuilding the quay wall at the Belfast and London berths were begun before the compl tion of the work at the Glasgow berths. By this means it was pos ible gradually to transfer the plant and m n from one section of the deepening to the other.

In April the British and Irish ompany's London teamers were berthed at Sir John Rogerson';i Quay, immediately to the eastward of Forbes' Street, a temporary hed having been previously erected at this berth for the Company's use.

During the year 330 feet of new quay wall was finished to coping level, and 2u2 feet of foundations laid. 0£ this a length of 175 feet wa founded at the great depth of 28 feet below low water level, in consequence of the character of the ground. A length of 3.30 feet of staging and coffer dam has been removed at the Glasgow berths, and about 2GO feet of staging and cofier dam have be n constructed at the Belfast and London berths.

GRAVING Sup o. 2.-Thc new hauling-up winch for No. 2 Graving Slip has been fitted with an lectric motor, , upplied by Me srs. , iemcn Brothers. Current has been upplied by means oI a cable connecting the slip with the temporary electric generating station at the Glasgow berth . The new carriage or cradle has been completed, and new timber sleepers and ca t iron rails have been laid to low water. 'Ihe whole of the new appliances were tested with one of the Board's steam hoppers on the cradle, and the results have proved most satisfactory. Before the alterations were made it frequently took from 1 to G hours to haul up a ves el. The time required is now about half an hour.

Hom: OFFICE REGULATIO.·s FOR DocKs.-To meet the requirements of the Home Office Regulations for the protection of life in docks, arlditional life ladders have been fixed along the river quays in rece ses cut in the ma onry of the <Juay walls. Numerous ladder rung have al o been fixed on the timber wharves and fender piles. Adclitional guard rails or £enc s bave been rected at points oI the quays which havo, been considered dangerou or unprotected. In the Custom House Docks, where the l vel of the wate1 is fairly constant, wire ropes hav been fixed <tlong the face of the quay walls, to enable persons falling into the water to support tbemselve until re cued. Additional lamp have been erected in the Docks, and a great number of additioMl life buoys have be n provided tl1roughout the Port.

~imilar guard rails an<l life buoys hav b en provided at the Harbours of Balbriggan and kerries.

CusTOM HousE DocK, AND WAREHOP, E -The wooden paving 0£ George's Dock , wive! Bridge was renewed, and the inner sea gates at the entrance to the Dock were taken up and removed to the Port yard for repair. The road approach from the orth Wall to the Queen's Timber Yard and the Ardros an attle Yard was paved to meet the requirements 0£ the Veterinary Department. A new hoist, worked by a gas engine, has been erected to connect the vaults and floors of tack A. At the request of Messrs. IIeiton & Co. an additional 5-tons weighbridge, suitable for four-wheel lorries, ha been erected at their coal bank. In consequence of the removal of Me rs. Wallace Brothers' coal bank from the south side of the Inner Dock to the west side of the same dock, a crane tramway, about 200 feet in length, was laid for their steam crane on this quay.

DEEP-WATER JE'rTY IN THE ALEXA DRA BASIN.-The deep-water jetty east of the graving dock ha3 been extended eastward to meet the isolated jetty hitherto used exclusively by the Anglo-American Oil Company. A continuous deep-water jetty has been thus formed about 430 feet long, with a depth ol water in the berths alongside of 23 feet at low water. It has already proved of great advantage both t~ the oversea and coasting trade.

THE PILOT ERVICE.-The pilot steamer" Dolores" was thoroughly overhauled and strengthened to meet the requirements of the Committee of Lloyd's Register for continuing the classification of the ship. As soon as this vessel was re-commissioned the Boar<l. decided to have their steamer "Energy" restored to the Registry, and directed the Engineer to take the necessary step'> The necessary repairs and renewals are in progre s under the directions of Lloyd's Surveyor.

WoRUIEN's EATING-HOUSE AND SHELTER.-The Board have set apart a portion of the west end of hed o. J on the North Quay E:-..-tension as an eating-house for workmen engaged on the quays. It is fitted with tables and benches and a large hot hearth, ovens and boiler, so that the men can have their food heated. The Board have appointed a caretaker, who supplies food and loo~<s ofter the Board's property.

GREAT No&TH WALL.-The levallinp of the road surface of the high portion of the Great orth Wall has been continued about 1,500 feet, as far as the Bull Beacon. This has proved a great public benefit, and has been greatly appreciated

BuTT BRIDGE.-The roarlway of Butt Bridge has been repaved throughout with stone sets, and the wr st footpath replanked and asphalted.

I ORTH QUAY RxTEN ION.-Thc paving of the North Quay Exten ion ha ~ been continued east of the Revenue Station, and to the 100 tons crane. About 1,500 square yard of set paving were laid.

A 20-tons Waggon Weighbridge has been erected on the orth Quay Exten ion for public use.

ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION.-ln October the Board entered into a contract with M:essr . C. A. Parsons & Co. for the erection and equipment of an Electric Generating Station for the Port. The foundation work is being con tructed by the Board, ancl considerable progress has been made. The site chosen for the station i on the west quay of the Alcxn.ndra Basin, and is very favourably situated for the cli tribution of current and for the supply of fuel and condensing water.

EA TERN BREAKWATER A n ExTEN ION OF THE ALEXANDRA BASIN.-The staging in connection with the con truction of the Eastern Breakwater and the northern boundary of the reclamation north of the ext nsion of the Alexandra Basin was completed, and rails laid on it as far a the Ea tern Breakwater Lighthouse for the locomotive and waggons used in depositing stone. During the year about 24,000 tons of stone have been deposited outside the starring, and about 26,000 tons of gravel and sand have been pumped ashore at the pier-head of the Eastern Breakwater for filling.

LIGHTS, BEACONS, AND Buoy, .-A staging has been driven at umber 5 Beacon on the site of the new Lighthouse on the North Bank, which is to take the place of the Beacon Lighthouse. This alteration will allow of the channel being made pPrfectly straight between the entrance o{ the River and the Eastern Breakwater Lighthouse.

The number of Bar Buoys has been reduced to two, by the removal of the fiddle Bar Buoy. The remaining buoys are the orth Bar Buoy and the South Bar Buoy.

The buoy at the entrance to the river at the end of the Great orth Wall has also been removed.

\VESTER AND WATERFORD, RAILWAY COMPANJES AMALGA-

Section 34 of the above Act contains certain provisions for the protection of the Port of Dublin.-Mainly that the Great Southern and Western Railway Company shall give all reasonable rail way facilities to induce traffic to pass to, from, and i 1ia Dul11in, and such facilities shall not be inferior in any way to the facilities heretofore afforded by the Company ; that the Company shall not by their Hates or Fares (whether local or through) or otherwise place the Port of Dublin at an undue disadvantage as compared with any other Port, City or Town in Ireland to or from which traffic is or may be carried by means of the Railways of the Company. The Board, considering that the Company were not fairly carrying out the intentions of the Statute as regards the Port of Dublin, applied to the Board of Trade to appoint an Arbitrator under the Act. The Board of 'Trade appointed the Railway and Canal Commissioners, who commenced the Inquiry in Dublin on Tuesday, the 5th February, 1!)07, nnd concluded on Friday, the 15th February, the Court reserving judgment.

D&EDGING-Dre1lging within the llarbour.-The following is a summary of the tonnage dredged within the Harbour in 190G :For the Improvement of the Harbour For the Maintenance of the Harbour

Gro total dredged

(553,9:35 tons 416,3 5 ton

!)70,320 tons 1,200 tons

971,520 tons

The dredging for improvement wa" chiefly <lone on t!le north ide of the river channel, between the Eastern Breakwater and the Beacon Lightbousr. The dred~ing for maint nance was carried ont in the Harbour, between the _:rorth Wall Lighthouse and Butt Bridge. 1n the month of May the Improvement Committee o{ the )fonicipal Corporation reque te<l. the Board to undertake the deepening of the Pigeon House Harbour, to a1'ow the Sludge .:team Hopper '' Hhamrock •• to berth alongsid the .fain Drainage tanks. As the work wa urgently needed to permit of the op nine: of the Dublin )fain Drainage .'y tern, the Board agr eel to do the work at the expense of the Corporation, and 10, 00 tons w re dre<l.ged and. the berthage completed before the inauguration ceremony on the 21th of September, L906.

Dredgi11g on the Bar.-During the year, :3:32, \7:3 ton of sand and gravel w r dr dged on Dublin Bar by the Board's suction hopper dredger ", and piper,·· J0:3,G90 tons of which were pumped on bore to the north of the Alexandra Ba in, or at, the Ea tern Brrakwater. The total tonnage dredged on the Bar up to the end of 100G amounte,1 tu l ,:30G,98:3 tons.

HEAVY LIFT RA~E.-1'he tPinl and fourth in talment werr paid to th contractor, for the 100tons crane during the year, and in D cember the contract wa cl ed, and the crane t f\ken off their hands. The work ha been completed in asatisfo.ctory mann r. Although the effici ncy ancl u. efnlnc of the crane has been impaired in con quence o[ the delay in ext nding the Quay Tramways to thP cranP, yet it ha proved of real advantage to the Port, and its existence ha r movecl on of the reproa hes fr0m which th Harbour of Dublin formerly uITerecl.

ORTH QUAY DEEPENI 'G.-'fhe rebuilding o{ the Quay Wall at the Belfa t and London berths was in progre s throughout they ar. A length of 2 8 feet wa built up to coping level, the remainder of the olcl Quay Wall wa removPd, and the excavation for founding the la t length of the new wall was in progres • The low level ewer, which discharoes into the river opposite ommon treet, has been carried aero the cofferdam in a tcel tube. This has required 0 reat care, and has been a cau e of con id,,rable delay in the progress of the work. A n w outlet was made through the new quay wall for the drain from the King's Excise tore; new ti<l' valv s wer• also fitted, and the drain under the North Wall roadw11,y recon tructecl at the expen e of th ity of Dublin Steam Packet 'ompany.

-:I_'

CITY QUAY DEEPENIXO.-,\ the work connected vith the rebuilding of the ~Torth \Vall were drawing to a close, the Board decidf'd to proceed with the Jeepening of the berthage at City Quay, and the rebuilding of the quay wall. A length of 300 feet of quay was enclosed with a paling for the purpo e, anu l\fessrs. Tedcastle, ~f'Cormick & Co., have been accommodated with tempor~ry berthagP to the eastward. The two steam cranes belonging to the Company were removed from Cit , Quay to the ea, tward of Creighton Street Ferry Step , and temporary crane rail laid for them on the quay. Thi. work wa Jone at the expense of the Company. Tlie plant and nrn.chinrry are gradually being lran £erred from the North Quay Deepening to City Quay.

ALEXASDRA B.\srn ExTE.' IO.'.-To allow of the exten ion of the Alexandra Ba in, it will be necessary to remove the old eoncrete wall forming the ea tern boundary of the - orth Wall Basin. About 350 feet of the outer portion of this wall wa removed during the year. To do thi it va found nece ary to employ gelignite. This was fired in mall charges, and the concrete wall was broken into fragments, which were removed to t 11e new Ea tern Breakwater.

DEEP-WATER JETTY IN THE Ar EXANDRA BA 'L'.-'l'be deep-water jetty east of the Graving Dock ha proved o useful that ihe Board decided to ext nd it for a further length of 330 feet ea tward. When thi is done there will be 1,000 feet of drep-water berthag on the nort,h ide of the Alexandra Ba.in. This will undoubtedly be a great addition to the usefulness of the Basin, rrlieve the fr •quent conge, tion on the North Quay Extension, and increase the value of the Board's property, which ha recently been re<·laimcd. new paved road 11as been con tructed along the hack uf the Wharf for a length of aLont 900 feet.

RE<'LAIMED LAND O:N THE .TORTH IDF. OF THE ALEX.\NDRA BA.IN.--Dming the year 1J7,:3:21 tons f filling have been pumped ashor or deposited on the rrrlaimed lands.

PILOT FRVICE.-The Board decideJ to obtain the recla iftcation of Lloyd's Committee for their Pilot, teamer "En rgy." Thi ,,as a work of con i<lerable magnitude, involving the removal of the engine ancl boiler out of the ship, and their complete ov rhaul and repair. The hull was placed on 1ro. 2 Slip, a larg area of the platina was ren w cl, and th fioorina and frame strengthenecl. On the completion of these repair • which were carri d out under Lloyd's upervision and instructions, the vessel wa re tared to its class on the register.

, o TH QuAYc.-A comnl()dious watch-house ,1as built at, the east encl of 'ir John Roger on·s Quay for the use of the Harbour Master's a istant on dnty at that quay. It consists of a two-~toried brick tower, and has a yard with clo et anJ coal store attarh cl.

BEACON , Buoy AND LIGHT, .-New lightlwuse on the North Bunk.-A single balk dam wu driven round the site of the new lighthouse on the rorth Bank, which is to tak the plare of the Beacon Lighthou e, the latter having to be removed to traighten th north ide of the river channel between the ~Torth Bull Lighthouse and the Eastern Breakwater Lighthouse. The ,.,round ,vithin the piling was excavated, and the foundations for the tower got in. At the clo e of th year the brickwork of the tower was b11ilt to a height of 22 feet above high water. Th new lantern, perle tal and machin ry for the light apparatu have been d livered by Messrs. Chance Brothers.

GREAT. TOR'l'll WALL.-The old timber bridge joining the Great~ orth Wall to the mainland wa in such a decayed and dangerous condition that the Board rlecidecl on its reconstruction. It wa al o felt that the width of the bridge was insuffi.rient to provide for the rrowd. of people who frequent the Bull Wall in, ummer, .as this promenade ha greatly increa ed in popularity since the Board improved the road surface. On the c

49 grounds it was determined to re tore the bridge to its original width. As the thoroughfare had to be maintained during the progress of tbe work, the bridge was rebuilt in two sections. This ncces arily increased the cost of the work.

An agreement has been entered into ,Yith the Royal Dublin Golf Club allowing the 'lub certain privileges on the Boitrd's property at the orth Bull, and accurately defining the boundary between their respective properties. This boundary has been marked by cutting a lock spit in the ground.

ELECTRIC EQlTTPMENT OF THE PoRT. -Electric Generating Station.-At the close of the year all the foundation work was finished, and the brickwork an<l. roofs of the boiler, engine, accumulator, am~ pumphouse were practically completed. The boilers, engine,, dynamos and switchboard were installe<l, and the coal handling machinery and overhead bunkers in place. The fitting up of the accumulator battery wa •• in progress.

Electric Cables.-Nearly all the rabies for lighting and the transmi~ ion of po,ver at the ' orth Quay Exten ion, the Graving Dock, the Alexandra Road, anrl Alexandra Wharf, were laicl, and the lamp-posts erected. A recess was cut across the Graving Dock, in whic:1 the armoured electric cable for transinitting power to the new Pumping tation will he laid.

Temporary Supply of Current.-The supply of current for 'N'o. 2 ,'lip and the 100-tons crane lias be'en provideu throughout the year by tlie mall steam turbine plant, in the temporary powerhouse at the Glai>go v berths.

TRA~IWAY .-The Board have <l.eciued to xlend the tramways on the ~·orth Quay Exten ion a far a the LOO-ton crane. The teel rails have been obtained, and the point. have been order d. The curve connecting the existing tramways with the Great, outhern and Western Railway wac; so completely worn out that in the intere ts of public safety it had to he taken up. 'l'he removal can cd eriou. inronvenience to the railway waggon trafftr on the Quays, but, fortunately. before the encl of the ·ear the Hoan! came to a satisfactory arrangem~nt with the Railway Company, under which the curve ha. since been relaid, and arrangem nts made for tlie renewal of tbe worn out tramways. onsiderable repairs w re carried out during the year to the tramways on , ir John Rog r on·s Quay, used by tbe Ga Company and Messrs. Tedcastle, M'Cormick & Company.

Ho~rn OFFICE REGULATION .-To meet the requirements of H. ~1. In~pertor of Factorie", additional ('luarrl. rails were erected at the Custom House Dorks, and the wire ropes alon('I t.hP face of the <lo k walls, to enable person" falling into the water to support themselves until r scued, , ·ere completed.

The Auditor'• Report.

The Secretary (Ml'. Proud) read the reporf of the auditor, Ir. B lie, on the accounts of th6 Board for the year 1905. He said the ye.a.r under review would appear in l!Ollle rer.~ts to have been a. rAGord on , not only wa.s the regi.'ltered ton.na~e of shipping enter. ing the port the highest rN:Orded, but the volume of transactions, both 88 regards re~ipts and expenditure, was much in excess of the pervieus vear-thf' re<-,eipts on revenue &C'C.ount amou11t,in~ to £111,407 14. 2d., a.nd 1 t,,, expenditure £103,50'& 16s. 3d. Tonnage and dues on goods a111ount in the aggregatf' to nearly £00,000. It is satisfactory to note tll&t out of this large total the amounts uncrllected on the 31st DecemhE'r were onlv trifti.ng, and these were collected shortly afte"r th,• clo~ of the y1>a.r, Jllet l'ates and goods ratt'I l~d ~·ere slightly m exc.ess of statutory ~lllrl"IIlents. Having n,gard to the work of the different departlllilnt4, the auditol" s1-oke flf • he waiseworthy and a<:cnrate J"';mner in which Mr. M'.-illister disc;1:uged his dutif'-8, H also e pressed his obligations to the i.evcral l\f,COunting officers for the material ,1.ss1stanre o;o willin11:ly rendered an all occa.gions thrnughout the audit.

Aud t OT Accoun-.:a

The SoCl'etary read a :report of the Local Government Board Auditor on the oooou..it.a of the Ilo.'lrd for the year 1905. The year re. viewed appeared in some respects to be a. 1'6oord one, not only in the registered tonnage of shipping entering the port-which was the Jiigli-<v;t. on T or-d-but tl1e volume of bl'8.llsa<:tions in th maUer of :receipts and expcmilit.ure wns much in exc of the previollll year. The receipt, -0£ the revenue aocount amounted to £111,407 14s 2d, n.nd the ex• penditure to £103,.502 16s 3d. Tonnage and 1 dues on goo,ls amounted in the .aggregate to nearly £80,000, and it was satia!a.ctory to note that out of the I· 1 ge total the aocounta uncollected an D ember 31st were trifling, and w re collected shortly a.fter the close of the year. et rates a.nd oods rates lodged were slightly in exceSB of the statutory requirements. 'l'he Auditor further pointed out the prai11eworthy manner in which ::\lr. )l'Alhster di har)(ed hi, duties, and exprcSS<'.5 his ol>ligaiions to the several accountmg offices,;~r }!e _;:~tnnpi they had afforded him. ~1/ If J (J nll••--- • - ·-
