SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
OK THE
lEITISH COLUMBIA BOABS OF TBADE
(8nd July. 1880 to 2nd July, 1881.)
VicTouiA, 13. C, 'ind July, 1881.
To THE MeMUEKS of THE B. C. BOAHD OF TllADE;
Gentlemen : — Your committee appointed by the
Council to prepare a report of the ^)rocee(liiiti[s of the Board
lor the year 1880-1881 for presentation at the Annual General
Meeting, beg to report as follows :
MEMBERSHIP.
At the commencement of the fiscal year (to which all our
remarks refer) there were 82 members on the list. On the
.'JOth September four members withdrew. On the 81st of
December dight more retired, and at the present time the
number has been reduced to 69; it is, however, a matter of
some little congratulation that the list is still numerically
stronger than it was two years ago, and, no doubt, when trade
and commerce shew a general tendency to improve, and the
prospects of the country brighten, many new members will
join and others return.
MEETINGS.
During the past year there have been four General
Meetings of members, and ten Meetings of the Council, full
])articulars of which can be obtained at the office of the
Board from a i^erusal of the Record Book, which is open to
the inspection of members every day (Sunday excepted)
from 9 A. M. until 5 p. m. The Quarterly General Meetings
have been held in ko^eping with the " Acts of Incorporation
and Bylaws."
DEATHS.
Your committee aie pleiised to be in a position to state
that during the past year our number has not been lessened
from this cause.
s
1
WITHDRAWALS.
The following gentlemen have withdrawn from the Board
for various reasons. Some from change of residence, ill
health, depression in business and consequent pecuniary
inability to continue their subscriptions, and some from
reasons known only to themselves; indiscriminately they are
as follows: Messrs. T. L. Briggs, F. J. Barnard, Bichard
Carr, H. E. Croasdaile, J. Engelhardt, A. B. Green, J. P.
Goodhue, J. B. Hett, William Moore, Charles Morton,
Alex. McLean, J. W. McKay, J. E. McMillan and Alex.
Wilson. Total, 14.
VACANCIES.
None have occurred during the past year, either on the
Arbiti'ation Board or among the members of the Council .
FINANCE.
Details of Beceipts and Expenditure will be found in the
Account Current of the Secretary-Treasurer and in the
report of the Audit Committee. We ma}' state, however,
that this time last year we had only the sum of $139.45 in
the Bank of British Columbia, and that now we have 122.50
in hand, $408.75 in the Bank and $18 collectable — making
the total assets to be $449.45, with all expenses paid, no
outstanding liabilities, and an increase to the funds of the
Board of over $300.
PRINTED COMMUNICATIONS.
We beg to return our grateful acknowledgements for the
following printed pamphlets, etc., received during the year:
1st. Trade letter No. 4, Commercial Belations between
Brazil and Canada, with supplementary information relating
to trade with the West Indie ;
2nd. Annual Beport San Francisco Chamber of Com-
merce ;
8rd. Annual Beport of Astoria Chamber of Commerce;
4th. Board of Trade Ileturns shewing progress or decline
in manufactured exports and imports for the last twelve
years, from 1869 to 1880;
5th. An Act to amend the Act 40 Vic, chap. 10, respect-
ing the Consolidation of Customs Acts;
6th. Pacific Bailway speeches of Amor DeCosmos, M.P.

OTHER BOARDS OF TRADE.
No further reports have been received from Quebec, Mon-
treal, Dominion Board of Trade or Portland, nor have any
at all been received from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
DECOSMOS' RAILWAY SPEECHES
The sum of $20 was voted by the Council towards defray-
ing the expense of printing said speeches at Ottawa, copies of
which have been widely circulated, and are on file for
reference of members of the Board .
DOMINION BOARD OF TRADE.
Nothing further has been done or attempted in reference
to affiliation with said Board, nor do we apprehend any such
step until our financial as Avell as numerical strength shall
warrant it.
DELEGATE TO ENGLAND.
The correspondence and printed circulars on this subject
will be laid before you; but inasmuch as tJie commercial
(!onference, up to the present moment, has made but little
|)rogress it will only be necessaiy now for us to state that
the Council nominated the Hon. Amor DeCosmos, M. P.,
and then Mayor Turner (successively) as the representative
from this Province; they, however, being reluctantly com-
pelled to decline the honor on account of more pressing
tnigagements the Council were fortunate enough to secure
tlie services of H. C. Beeton, Esq., of Finsbury Circus,
London, Great Britain, who has attended most, if not all,
the meetings in London, and from his reports you will
readily perceive that our Board of Trade has been constantly
and faithfully represented.
DRAWBACK ON TIN PLATE.
This subject has again engaged the attention of Council.
A rebate of 34 cents per box was first allowed, and then,
through the instrumentality of the Board and able assistance
of members of the Senate and Commons at Ottawa (repre-
senting British Columbia) was increased to 50 cents per box
drawback; since then further resolutions and suggestions
have been sent to Ottawa recommending that the actlldl
(li(ti/ paid on all materials used in the canning of sal-
mon for export be allowed.

TELEGRAPH LINES AND CABLES.
These subjects have also had much consideration during
the past year. The lines from Victoria to Nanaimo have
been reconstructed; the cable laid from Nanaimo via Valdes
Island to Point Grey (Burrard Inlet); the land line from the
latter point to New Westminster built, and the land lines
from New Westminster to the northern parts of the Province
put in good working order. We are now partly assured that
a second cable will be laid from Sooke to Port Angelos or
Freshwater Bay, or from some point in Washington Terri-
tory to some opposite point on Vancouver Island.
COMMON CARRIERS AND RATES OF FREIGHT
Is another matter which has been briefly considered, but
inasmuch as any decided action on the part of the Board
might require a number of legal opinions it was deemed
more prudent to defer a thorough discussion on the subject
until more comi)lete information could be gleaned during
the ensuing year.
NANAIMO-ESQUIMALT RAILWAY.
Nothing further has been done in this direction. A meet-
ing was called to discuss the advisability of the Board taking
action in reference to a rumored public meeting; it was
decided, however, not to take any further steps in the matter
(for the present) unless some tangible ]3roposition could be
submitted to the Dominion Government.
DRYDOCK
Is progressing slowly in its preliminaries for construction,
and no doubt 'ere the close of the present year more rapid
strides will be taken in prosecuting a work, the completion
of which would so materially aftect our trade and commerce.
FOG WHISTLE AT RACE ROCKS.
During the stay of William Smith, Esq., Deputy Minister
of Marine, in this Province, a committee from this Board
waited upon him in reference to the erection of a steam fog
whistle at Race Rocks, and to which he promised to give his
attention on his return to the Federal Capitol.
We are now pleased to state that the same is in course of
construction, and will be completed long before foggy wea-
ther of any moment will demand its services.

SHIPPING AND NAVIGATION LAWS.
A committee lias been appointed to take into consideration
all matters relative to the effect of Canadian Jaws on this
subject as affecting British Columbia, more particularly to
find out what laws licive been made to apply to this Province,
what have jiot, and the nature of them. Committee has not
yet reported,
BONDED WAREHOUSES.
A recent circular from Ottawa requiring that separate
warehouses should be established for excise and dutiable
goods has been issued. The matter was taken up by the
Board and referred to Ottawa through the Members and
Senators in the customary manner, and the result is that the
departmental officers have been instructed iiof to put said
circular in force until further advised by the Department at
Ottawa.
HAMILTON BOARD OF TRADE.
A circular letter has been received from this Board of
Trade in reference to the " Equitable distribution of Insol-
vent Traders' Estates," and containing much useful matter;
but inasmuch as it contained a request for co-operation of
this Board towards securing the passage of a Bill through
Parliament at its last session, and as the subject involved a
variety of legal opinions, action has been deferred for more
mature consideration.
MAIL SERVICES AND MAIL STEAMERS.
These matters have ever and anon engaged the attention
of Council. Committees have been appointed, reports
drawn up, resolutions passed and forwarded to our Members
and the Government at Ottawa; but up to the present no
leplies have been received, and we cannot, therefore, make
any definite report upon the subject.
MAIL SERVICE TO WRANGEL, CASSIAR, ETC.
A committee has been appointed to draft information on
this subject with a view, if possible, to securing some kind
of regular service to these remote places, instead of the very
irregular communication even in summer months, and total
absence in winter. Committee has not yet reported.

PUGET SOUND MAIL SERVICE.
A committee has also been appointed to enquire into this
matter, and to take such steps as to them may appear neces-
sary and expedient Avith a view to obtaining a daily mail
service between Puget Sound and British ('olumbia. The
report of this committee will be laid before you. Printed
petitions were drawn up and forwarded to the principal
sections of the Province. These have been numerously and
inlluoiitially signed and transmitted to Ottawa through the
senior M. P. for Victoria city, viz: Right Hon. Sir John A.
Macdonald, and we await the result. Meantime, we may
state that, partly owing to this agitation, and partly attribu-
table to the transfer of the ' ' Starr Line of Steamers " to the
" Oregon Railway and Navigation Company," a tri-weekly
service is now in operation between Victoria and Port
Townsend, and which must, in a measure, ultimately benefit
the former.
BEAVER OR SPENCE'S ROCK.
Steps have been taken by the Board towards securing the
completion of the work known as the removal of "Beaver or
Spence's Rock," in Victoria Harbor. A committee was
appointed to wait upon the Resident Dominion Government
Agent (Hon. J. W. Trutch, 0. M. G.) who cheerfully
acquiesced in the suggestions made by Council, immediately
sent a telegram to the Minister of Public Works at Ottawa
recommending that the completion of the contract be under-
taken by the Dominion Government at a probable cost of
!it!l,000, said sum to be deducted from balance of contract,
payable upon completion of same, viz: 15,228.20; the result
is that the work is now being pushed on to completion, and
we trust 'ere many weeks to see the obstruction to navigation
known as ' ' Spence's Rock " removed altogether, and a depth
of 12 feet 0- inches over it at L. W., Ord.
Spgs.
ARBITRATION CASES.
There has been only one case referred to the Arbitration
Board, viz: that of W. J. Stephens versus the Hudson Bay
Company, a claim for services rendered by steamer Cassiar
to steamer Otter (when ashore); amount claimed, $1,875;
amount awarded, .|650; Robert Ward, Esq., acting as Arbi-
trator for owners of the Casriar, and M. T. Johnston, Esq.,
for owners of the Otter. Award accepted.

QUARANTINE MATTERS
Have been and still are engaging the attention of Council,
brought about more forcibly by the recent case of the barque
Henry Buck arriving from China with some 300 Chinese and
"small-pox" on board, and the almost total absence of the
necessary accommodation for patients. These matters have
been fully represented to the Minister of Agriculture and
Statistics at Ottawa, with a view to the establishment of a
Quarantine Hospital and station in this Province, and we
trust, "ere long, to see some provision made by the Dominion
Government which will meet the exigencies of the case.
"HARBOUR MASTER AND POET WARDEN."
Ivules and Regulations, Acts for the government of, and
fees collectable by this officer are to l)e found in the " Acts
of Incorporation and Bylaws " of the British Columbia Board
of Trade. Vn'e have to note the resignation from ill-health
and advanced age of Captain Jeremiah Nagle, for many years
the incumbent of these positions, and the appointment in
his stead of Captain William Raymond Clarke.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
KOBEBT PATERSON RITHET, President,
WILLIAM CHARLES, Vice-President,
EDGAR CROW BAKER, Secretary.
ADOPTION OF REPORT.
The foregoing report was read and adopted at the ad-
journed Annual General Meeting on Tith July, and referred
to Council for action. The same having been again consi-
dered at Council Meeting on the 22nd July was placed in
the hands of the Committee, who drafted it for the purpose
of getting it jninted for the information of members gener-
erally, with power to add such information and statistics in
the form of Appendices to said report as to them may appear
necessary or ex]iedient in the interests of trade and commerce.
ALTER.\TIONS OF BYLAWS.

following addition and amendments to the Bylaws were

N. B.— In the Annual Eeport of the Board for 1880 the Committee
inadvertently omitted to mention the fact that they were much indebted to
Messrs. Frye and Milne, of H. M. Customs, for the valuable statistics fur-
nished by them in the msitter of Exports, Ijiiports, and Slui>piug— as also
for their ready and prompt assistance', at all times, in stipplying the infor-
mation necessary for making a lleport of this nature replete with useful
matter. The Committee this year are equally indebted to the kindness and
courtesy of those goitlemen for similar favors and also for additional statis-
tics of our tirtheries. EDGAR CROW BAKER, Secretary.

The Pilotage Authority shull have power under tliis By-
Liiw to niiike such aiTiingemeuts from time to time conconi-
iu^ tlie i)ih)tage of vessels making regular trips between
Victoria and Puget Sound, as to them may appear necessary
or expedient in the interests of Trade and Commerce.
Comjmlsory payment of Pilotage dues is not chargeable
against vessels while in Iloyal lloads, unless such vessels
shall enter either or both of the ports of Victoria and
Estpimalt.
AVhen a vessel is bound to or from any other port in the
Province, either laden or in ballast, and does not discharge
or receive any cargo, passengers or mails, but simjjl}' enters
it as a harbor of refuge, such vessel shall be exempt from
])ilotage into and out of Esquimalt, excepting in cases where
a Pilot is actually engaged by the Master for such services.
Pilots shall anchor or moor vessels in such places and
])osition as may be previously assigned to them by the
Harbor Master, and shall also bei'th vessels at such wharf
and in such manner as may be consistent with the wishes of
the Consignee, conveyed to them by the Harbor Master.
It shall Ije the duty of Pilots to assist the Master in
superintending the unmooring of vessels, when engaged to
])ilot such vessels outward.
At a meeting of the Commissioners of the Victoria and
Esquimalt Pilotage District, held at A'ictoria, Ji. C., on the
I'itli Juiy, liSSU, the following addition to tlio " Pv-Laws,
18.S0," was adopted;
" Whereas the pilotage dues as |)rovided for in sec. 18 of
the By-Laws, 1H80, fall heavily upon steamers making regu-
lar voyages to Britsh Columbian waters, and whereas in the
interests of the trade of Victoria and Esquimalt it is desira-
ble to obviate the burden referred to. — Be it therefore
resolved, that steamers making regular trips to Victoria and
Esquimalt and having paid ^o per foot into and out of either
harbor on th(> inward voyage and leturning again to either
of said harbois within a period of 20 days, shall only pay
§1.50 per foot additional dues on said vessels on the outward
voyage (i. e. 75 cents ])er foot inwards and 75 cents per foot
outwards) for pilotage service tendered or rendered until
said vessel.5 pass to the west\\ard of a line di'awn from Race
Kecks to Point Angelos, i. e. to seaward again.

I KESOLUTION I.

I and, considering, also, that Commeicial Treaties with
" Foreign Countries whereby Colonial interests are deeply
-/
Hi :.
36
affected are entered upon by the Mother Country Avithoul
adequate consultation with the Colonies, this Conferc^nce is
of oi^iuion that in all matters of Imperial or International
Treaties where Colonial interests are directly or indirectly
involved, an endeavor should be made to ascertain the views
of the Colonies, and that proper weight be attached to their
opinions."
RESOLUTION II.
"That it is desirable to form an Association, Avhose Head
Office shall be in London, to be called the British and
Colonial Union for the consideration and fva'the?"ance ol
Inter-Colonial Trade, and Tra:le between the Colonies and
Great Britain ."
RESOLITTION III,
"That, consid(;ring the advisability of atilixing, as far as
possible, the machinery of the present Conference, it is
desirable that its Members should resolve themselves into
the proposed Association, with power toncnninate a Council
and to enroll, as members of the Union, any persons who
sympathise with its objects, subject to such Ijaws and Bye-
Laws as the Council may frame and the I-nion may ado])t.
That the Council shall be appointed annually, of Avhich, at
least, two-thirds shall be iiominated l>y the Commercial
liodies of the Colonies and ladia, the Union appointing the
remainder. Further, that in the represeniation on tlic
Council of the several '. Colonies and India, as indicated in
the foregoing ])aragrapli, their staphs industries, as well as

deration."

Britain and her (Colonies and Dependencies; and that this

liESOLUTION V.
" That consicloring the vast and jucreasiup' impoituiice oi'
the trade between Great Britain ;nid her Colonies and
Dependencies, and that no department of the Executive
Government exists, which is specially charged with the
consideration of the relations under which such trade is
carried on, this Commit^^ee would record its opinion that it
is highly desii'able that iliose functions of the Executive
Government of Great Britain which especially relate to
Commerce and Agriculture should be administered by u
distinct department, under a Principal Secretary of Htate,
who should be a Member of the Cabinet."
In conformity with the term of Resolution No. -i of the
Conference, a dej>utation waited upon the EiU-1 of Kimberley
and the Marquis of Hartington at the Colonial Office, on the
otli May last, when, I regret to say, our request, as will be
seen on perusal of the Beport enclosed, was not complied
with. In consequence of the refusal of Her Majesty's Gov-
ernmaut I have been iuMtructed by the Executive Council of
this Union to endeavor to obtain, by direct application to
Lhe several Chambers of Commerce of the Colonies, the
necessary data for promoting and assisting the oljjects foi'
which this Association has been designed to accomplish.
It is believed that full and complete answers to the
following inquiries would tend \ev\ largely to facilitate the
advocacy of such Tarilf )'egulatious as would be applicable
alike to the requirements of the Iriuastries of Great Britain,
the Colonies and Dependencies, as well at; to the fiscal
necessities of the latter.

PETITION KE DAILY MAIL VIA PUGET SOUND.
To His EXCELLKNCY THE MaRQUIO OF LoRNE, GoVEKNOE-GENEKAL OP Tllh
Dominion of Canada, in Council:
My Lord: — The Prayer of the Undersigned Petitioners, ..sidents of
the Province of British Columbia, Humbly Sheweth :
That it is highly important to the commercial and general interests ot
the Province that more frequent and regular mail communication should In
maintained with the United Stutes in order that Canadian and foreign cdi-
respondence may be facilitated to the utmost: And Whereas, daily communi-
cation has for some time past been in operation to Port Townsend on Pu^i t
Sound, distant some 35 miles from Victoria, where mails destined for British
Columbia remain on storage from two to three days in each week until ,i
steamer crosses the Straits twice a week to convey them to this Province: ,;
And Whereas, your petitioners are informed and believe that for a slight ;)
addition to the subsidy at present paid to the carrier of the mails on Pugc t
Sound, daily mail communication with British Columbia can be established.
Your petitioners there' ore humbly ask the earnest attention of youi
Excellency's Government to this matter, in the hope and belief that tin
disabilities under which the mail service now labors will be speedily |
remedied.
And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray:
The foregoing form of petition was forwarded to the principal sectioii>
of the Province, and having been numerously and intluentially signed by tb|
inhabitants of Victoria City and District, New Westminster, Esquimiilt.
Yale, Salt Spring Island, Quesnelle, Saanieh, Clinton, Stanley, Barkervillt.|
Soda Creek, Kamloops, Spence's Bridge and Cache Creek, was transmitti
to Ottawa on the 2()th June through the Rt. Honorable Sir John A. Maedmi
aid, the senior M. P. for Victoria.
