Directors will, of course, apply themßcftvea to tlu consideration of the question of towage —at [.resent a costly element. Th.ey would, however, remark that with so, large and valuable an Estate as the Coalfield at the threshold of Greymouth, which, if properly work'.tl, must be a source of incalculable wiahnto tue district, it is scarcely possible to suppose that such an obstacle to its commerce will long be allowed to prevail. If the interests of the owners of tug boats shall be found antagonistic to the trading of the Co»- v , pauy, it will be requisite that the Company khall provide tug vessels of their own. ! The Directors desire to allude to anottfe source of profit wh ich is too important t6 be lost sight of. The Country above the rdineff J in the Valley of the Grey, aud upon the Arnold, is attracting a considerable number of Settlers, aud the trafic returns! for the milling and agricultural' population there would alone pay a handsome dividend upon the cost of constructing a line of railway or tramway communica'ion between them and the port. A careful estimate of tho probable revenue to be derived from the trading of the Company has been made upon the assumption that 50,000 tons of Coal may be gained per iinnum, aud brought down to the vessels lying at Greymouth After paying liberally for getting the coal, making a fair allowance for i office and working expenses, and a moderate charge for freight upon the line ; together with 10 per cent, upon Capital, a protit of 25 to 30 per cent, may be anticipated upon a selling price of 10s. per ton for the Coal placed on board ship at Greymouth.
