11. The idea that the name “Wrigglesworth” should also be given to the place never materialised.

To say the least it would have looked completely ridiculous amongst the other Labradorian names. For instance would, “Light Tickle, Mary’s Harbour and William’s Cove” sit comfortably alongside “Port James Wrigglesworth?” Richard had to chuckle to himself.
He had already found out, that very soon after he took office Wrigglesworth commissioned a survey by Brodney into Loggers’ Conditions in the Woods. He knew that two of the findings were that the wages were doing no more than keeping the loggers and their families in poverty and that no pit props should be cut without pulpwood being sold along with it. Brodney’s view was that the amount of wood wasted from cutting pit props meant that the Commission of Government should disallow it altogether unless pulpwood became its associated end product for sale as well.
But shamefully, Wrigglesworth made sure Brodney’s report never saw the light of day in 1934. Wrigglesworth and Pomeroy had already met up with Jeffrey and Quigley by this time and it would not have helped Wrigglesworth’s mission to make a name for himself if his baby had been unable to proceed any further due to his own legislation. Therefore, Jeffrey was granted an unregulated export licence for his timber products and The Ranger Detachment of one 19 year old lad at Wild Bay was told to ignore whether or not Bills of Lading were being handed in to Jeffrey’s ship Captains. In that way, Jeffrey was effectively allowed to smuggle out as much wood as he wanted to without paying for it. Without strict control and regulation by the English- dominated Commission of Government in 1934 he was allowed to get away with taking out as much wood as he could cram into his ship’s holds and onto the decks.
