SAN FRANCISCO MAIL.
MR CREIGHTON'S PROPOSALS. IPXB PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Received March Bth, Lls a.m. Sydney, March 7. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to-day Air K. J. Creighton, of San Francisco, explained his scheme of a fortnightly San Francisco service. He contended that five first-class steamers could land mails in the colonies in the same time as those of the direct and Peninsular lines. The cost of the service would be £80.000 per annum, of which he anticipated the American Government would contribute £40,000, leaving the colonies to pay the balance. The Chamber, after listening to Mr Creighton, approved his scheme without favoring any one company. Efforts are being made to secure simultaneous action of the various Chambers interested in recommending the scheme to the different colonial Governments.
