coasters and fishing-boats have in
great
  measure disappeared, their places being taken by steamers and steam trawlers. The cost of the building and equipping of pulling and sailing
life
 -boats has materially increased, more especially since 1898, the increase being mainly due to improvements and the seriously augmented charges for materials and labour. In 1881 the
average
  cost of a fully-equipped
life
 -boat and carriage was 6so, whereas at the end of 1901 it amounted to 1000, the
average
  annual cost of maintaining a station having risen to about 125.
The transporting-carriage continues to be a most important
part

supply
  carriages to boats of larger dimensions than 37 ft. in length by 9 ft. beam, those in excess as regards length and beam being either launched by means of
special
  slipways or kept afloat. The transporting-carriage of to-day has been rendered particularly useful at places where the
beach
  is soft, sandy or shingly, by the introduction in 1888 of Tipping's sand-plates. They are composedof an endless plateway or jointed wheel tyre fitted to the main wheels of the carriage, thereby enabling the boat to be transferred with rapidity and with greatly decreased labour over
beach
  and soft sand. Further efficiency in launching has also been attained at many stations by the introduction in 1890 of pushing-poles, attached to the transporting-carriages, and
