But he believes it will succeed, for he is convinced that the gentleman, contracting
will do every thing possible to carry it out properly, and because the trade be-
tween the Islands has increased greatly during the latter years The returns from the
CmtmmLonsM hv that in 1869 10 the vdm0 import rom st. Thomas was I7325 in 1870
~ so2S va ad in 187l-72 S304993 The value of exports to ST. Thomas WngH the same years
we're mTmiIyS $40 1876 SO974 and 86OEL Add these two together and the value of the
tcM each of those wears will represent $20265l S22GO and $36j46I FMS is a strong
rmf that the trade between the Islands is on the increased Sucha scale that wei may expect a
point where we may be able h@y the Steamer can rn without public subsidy. But going out
from that basis, the contractor must on teo other hand baMwela certain amount of liberty,
especially in pgad Ote routes and we hayot the Dtg guarantee hrt successor the underak-
inc y allowing hin to pat the rhes according to WHAT'S mQnSte under the circumstances
at any given time. And nmNt be agreed tatu the routes DOR Hm d pace m%LW Hu aE
dino to Go extent of trade so that nFrderksed only gives one third part of the trade and
two thirds the routes to each place must be accordingly; it's but fiphy that aG
coIng to ts demands the routes must be arranged; if equal demands then also equal routes
Tn mrNpr a general principle in all such undertakings tNh the fXngd such things as routes
BAf to HMei interested in to arrange ;-howeve1 in order tdn 40 place may be entirely passed
over the Government will of course not give up all influence on the regulation of the routes
and hefuea also it is stipulated that the Government can require one the trips every other
week to he om9 from Fedeiktel; but he looks upnH asa fair demand thattne etupeneQr
b den free hands to az the rmes as best will St the requirements The enteppneur has
already now aiken iUMv to change the rMe& 50 that th towns have an equal humber
Thd Committee dauades the granting of privileges to the Steamer; but he would beg to
call to mind that the fnne contractor lad all the same privileges, aIhoughh the subsidy wa. then
$4,000 a. and at he pre4ntm oma Ill the SaaneYt ahmgr regularly at St. IhOnajh avep i
vnega different from sailing vessels BW.y yet, he agrees with the Committee that ehouLd ty to
time he could not acknowledge Hatt would Der right to say because those privileges oEe exemptions
are granted to steamers, tys should also be granted to sailing vessels; FORM that casey we night
ome day arrive at a point wherewe hadn rWnueO cover tee expenses for repairing our harbour
works But we can obtain what We wish in another way; as aid down in thee contract It'll only
