mean to put difficulties in the way of these
Factories he would moreover now declare
that he would support their erection as
much as anybody else, aud he would be
willing TO give a mortgage in his property
to the Credit Association in order to pro-
mote the object.
The Governor was happy to hear Mr..
Farrolly express himself approvingly of
the plan Of Central Factories, so much
the more as be, Mr.. Farrelly, was previ-
ou8ly opposed, not exactly to Central
Factories, but to the idea of giving mort
gage in his property to the benefit OF the
Credit Association. Ea, the Governor,
was doubiy happy to hear Mr.. Farrelly
now say he would b. willing to mortgage
his property, and this would certainly
becom3 a good example for many other
planters besides, we all know that what
Mr.. F4rrslly engages to do, he would also
carry through. With regard to the tram
way and the liquor-pipe, the former would
perhaps be preferable, but then also more
expensive but this is point which could
only be settled after more detailed i%nvesti-
cations; he was not perfectly acquainted
with this point in all its bearings; but one
thing he would call attention to Is the diff
icultY OF getting sufficient supply of wa
ter this would be more especially felt in
the event Of the diffusion system being
chosen. The exact quantity of water re-
CURED, he could not state just at the mo-
ment; but supposing we have the same
quantity of canes as now grown, he be-
lIeyed it would be requisite to have some
til ing like 36 millions gallons of water for
diffusion. This quantity divided On 100
days, which he would estimate as the Pc
riod required for taking off q crop, there
would be used daily about 100000 gal
Ions of water; and that quantity it would
be difficult to get in one place. The idea
Of the leading pipe therefore Is that there
should be only one or 2 Central Factories
near the Sea Side where the final process
of sugar making is carried on, while the
diffusion of liquor from the canes could
take place on for instance 8 different sta
tions in the Island AND it would of cOurse
be easier to collect the same quantity of
water at these 8 stations, than in two but
this vii! depend on further examination.
Major. ". 7. Moore: As he understood
the subject, it was certainly likely to bene-
fit the Island. He represented about
100000 dollars worth Of property in this
island, and he could declare in behalf of
his father that he is willing to enter a
Credit Association by mortgagiug those
properties he had also recommended Gen
eral Newton to do the same. a change
must be made we must try this under
taking it has succeeded elsewhere, and he
could not see why it could not succeed
here.
The Chairman said that from the gen
eral applause that met the remarks from
Mr.. FarreIly and Mr.. Moore it appears
that most Of the Assembly take an interest
in and are disposed in favour Of Central
Factories and a Credit Association as its
foundation. Those words from those Gen
tlemen shew what an immense change and
progress has taken place in the views on
this subject in the short space of time since
the first meeting was held about this sub
iect and we have certainly in the mean
time had a very good schoolmaster in these
hard times.
During the first discussions on the
matter, there was a feeling prevalent for
Central Factories. but no decided feeling,
and the general conviction was that they
