Subsidy to Ocean Steamship
lines REPRESENTATIVES.. S4S ,OOO
Rep. Dowsett moved TO refer this
item to Il Select Committee as the
service is now very unsatisfactory,
and some other arrangement may be
made with the company for differ
ent service.
Noble Baldwin said he thought
that the subsidy was Il very reason
able one. 1t is only two thirds of
what it formerly was. He thought
that the working of the steamship
line could be explained by someone
in the House.
Minister Thurston stated that the
item before was for the Oceanic
Steamship Co., but now it is left
blank so that the Government can
make contract with any company
for the service, and not as before,
be OBLIGED to pay the money to the
Oceanic Steamship Company only.
Rep. Dowsett then withdrew his
motion and moved that the item pass
as in the bill.
Rep. G. Brown thought that it
should be stipulated with whatever
company an agreement was made,
that there should be no increase of
freight charges from the present
rates. The item passed as in the
