Ho says he would not be surprised to 6eo tho speed of liners Increased to 40 or 45 knots an hour, or even more, by the übc of oil fuel, watertube boilers such as are now used in the latest types of destroyers, and doublereduction geared turbine engines that the export says are sure to be built for merchant ships after the war.

The Shipping Controller has \iow formed a National .Maritime Board to consider and deal with matters of this sort, upon which board the guild has thrne representatives.

The New South Wales Government Sb investigating a scheme for raising more revenue by imposing a royalty on export fluty on all bunker coal taken from their tihores by overseas steamers. It is claimed,, says tho Sydney "Shipping Lißt;" that tho imposition of a royalty on all bunker .coal taken away by- overseas ships, would produce a large amount of revenue, and the purchasers of the coal would still be pelting the fuel cheaper than they'are a\ile to do at any other port in the world. The proposal is-to impose a royalty ofnnything from 10s. to 155.. a ton on tho coal, and, in support of tho scheme, it is pointed out that at tho present time. 12s. to 15s. per ton is being oharged for coal at Newcastle, while South Coast coal, delivered in Sydney., is 20s. a .ton. Against these rates the prices oharged in other parts of the world range from £3 a ton in New Zealand up to £7 per ton-at Aden. Even in England the price, is 38s. a ton.■
