		Sugar culture was encouraged by liberal arrangements for the acquisition of plantations on the alluvial lands along the coastal rivers and creeks; and the growth of cotton was effectually stimulated by liberal bounties on the export of the staple.

		Note that in the railway station installation, after two years of rough use, even the short belts had suffered no appreciable wear, and no deterioration of the splices were evident.
		The in-line accelerating moving walkway responds to this potential problem by constantly monitoring the speed of all belts and handrails; if they run more than a nominated percentage fast or slow, the system comes to a controlled stop.
