Iacture III Jamaica.
Upon the question of issuing
licenses for the sale of liquor in the
out districts of the country, the
Trustees had, held a meeting, and
1.-The unanimously expressed opin-
ion was that the sale of liquor i'll the
vicinity of plantations would prove
detrimental TO efficiency and disci-
plinc. 1t was not considered that Il
protest against issuing licenses would
be of any avail, as the government
is not in the habit of shaping its
action by the wishes of the govern
ed but it was thought best to place
the Company on record as wholly
opposed to the traffic, and in ac-
cordance Herewith protest was adj
dressed to the Minister of the In.
terror, requesting that no further
licenses be issued for reasons there
in given, which was published in the
Planters Mouthly."
Regarding Cooperative Labor, y
the secretary states that the circular
letter, issued AT the instance of
M. Canavarro, Portuguese Consul,
was only replied to by four
planters, three of whom gave adj
verse opinions, and one, DR.. Thomp-
son, of Kohala, a favorable response.
The Report says: 1.-The subject is
one that deserves more consider
alton than it has received. The
Portuguese have been brought here
at heavy expense to the planters.
They are an industrious people
anxious to better their condition,
and to make more than day wages.
Unless they can do SO there is
danger they will go elsewhere. This
would result in a renewed expense
in bringing new laborers to take
their places. 1t would be better to
spend some money to keep men who
are familiar with the climate and
work than to spend it for bringing
green hands into the country"
The planters had contributed more
literally to the Planters Monthly
than in any previous year of its pub
LEGATION, with corresponding benefit
to its readers.
A list of the present stockholders
of the company is given. A few
had withdrawn during the year.
The Report concludes with the
following remarks on the ''Disposi-
ton of the Sugar Crop:"-
1.-The new contract by which the
bulk of the crop has been sold to
the new Refinery instead of TO Mr..
Spreckels, although not negotiated
by the Company, involves the inter
est of most of the stockholders. II
is Il most important measure, and ii
is hoped that it will be of benefit to
the planters.
