A change has also been, or rather is in- tended to be, made in what may be termed the financial sections of the Bill The Attorney General, in explaining the new Bill, said In this draft as it now stands there is no severing from the geno ral rates, of a fixed rate (bo bo doorled by the Governor) to be applied to water. The machinery of the Rating Ordinance of 1888 is deemed to be suficient. In sec- tion 28 of that Ordinance it is provided that two per cent of the raten levied in the City of Victoria many, in the discretion of the Governor, be disposed of to defray the expenses of the water supply."

We have no doubt it was two per cent of the valuation that the framers of the Rat ing Ordinance meant to set aside for the water supply, as is expressly stated in all the old ordinances, but what Hongkong legisla tors mean to do and what they actually do are row very often two totally different thuige. Yo suppose the discrepancies can easily be rectified, and we will take for granted that 2% of the valuation is what will be not aside for the water supply Thatcom will, we mppose, do little more than cover actual expenses, leaving nothing for sanitary pur. poses. This is not a result to be deplored.
