it would be desirablo to have a bund, if a good one could be obtained. Seriously, however, it in almost impossible to obtain a good band, the members of which would have modified Police duty to perform, and be attached to the Police Force, while they were supposed at the same time to efficiently encompass tho manifold duties of a Town Band' In the circumstances of Hongkong, wo agree most heartily with Mr Ryrie, that it is not necessary to have a Town Band; and wa cannot but think that to be wasting moch consideration over a Town Band, while the Fire Brigade was for a long time kept at starvation point, does not denote adminis. eration of a very high order. If one con aders the enormous expenditure which is pending, it will not be very difficult to arrive at the conclusion that the Colony has | noi suficiently ulvanced to waste money on
