The Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, 1906-1907 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, 1906-1907
Senator Dobson then moved a hearty vote of thanks to His Excellency for his interesting address. Whenever His Excel leney addressed them they could not but realise what an intelligent interest he took in all that afiected' the well-being of the island. His Excellency had shown' them how very many important affairs going on in the world affected Tasmania, either directly or indirectly. He quite agreed with what His Excellency had said as to the necessity of having the very latest ships for their naval defence. He was glad His Excellency did not share the pessimistic views as to there being a slump in the fruit market. He (senator Dobson) had been pessimistic once, but was so no longer. No industry here had succeeded so well as the fruit industry, and though the other States were vicing with us. We should remember it was Tasmania who pioneered the market, and showed that apples could be transported from one end of the world to the other. He had always thought that England was first as a builder of ships, but he had recently seen an article show ing that Germany was, on a par with us, both as to the speed and size of the ships she built, and as to the perfect mechan ism of the machinery. He was glad that His Excellency had referred to the projected aerial railway to Mount Wel lingtou. He believed that it would be a great success, that it would attract tour ists from all parts of Australia, and that it would prove to be an advertisement worthy of our Yankee cousins.
