"N.Z. Shipping and Commerce" states that tlio Marine Department demands that road metal taken by foreign sailing vessels as ballast fxom Auckland to Whangarei and Hokianga a-s ballast sliall bo treated lis "cargo, because it is sold to the local bodies there for road making. The local bodies give the shipowners what the raetni had cost them, and are glad to get the metal at that pric-e, suitable material being locally unobtainable in those districts. The effect of the Marine Department's demand is not merely nominal. If the ballast is officially considered "cargo," then the vessels become "coastal traders," and must pay coastal trade wages. "If the system is continued," says our shipping contemporary, "vessels wiU naturally take the cheapest muck available, and risk its shifting or choking the pumps, thereby endnngoring the safety of the vessels and the lives of those on board."
