RICKSHAWS AT SHANGHAI,
Municipal Council versus Owners.
We learn upon good authority (says, the Shanghai Mercury of the 10th inst.) that the action of the Municipal Council in refusing to grant licences for rickshawa whose owners reside in the French Settle- ment, as reported by us iu a local on Mon- day last, is liable to lead to further friction between the two Councils and probably with the Consular Body. As far as we can gather it is an attempt on the part of Municipal employees to repay the rebuff sustained by them over the recent jurisdic- tion question. The contention that this Council cannot prosecute owners of rick. shaws not resident hore falls to the ground when the record of a particular case said to have influence in the present question, is examined. It appears that two rickshaw coolics were taken by the Police hero to the Mixed Court, charged with being
•pium sinokers and unfit for their task, and their licenses were confiscated. The owners
of the rickshaws were then prosecuted in the French Mixed Court (they being re- sidents of that settlement) for hiring their licensed vehicles persons, and they were in turn fined. Apparently they were not fined sufficiently
to improper
satisfy the Council's employees as this new regulation has now been made. So far, beyond rumblings, thero has been no bouble, but when it is known that fully three-fourths of the licensed rickshaws are
●wned byresidents in the French concession, the seriousness of the new move becomes more evident.
Further, this unnecessary discrimination gainst the sister settlement must still more ncrease the friction between the two Councils, as it tends to induce the other Council to take retaliatory measures. For this reason we are strongly of opinion that the members of the Council should look Barefully into this matter. Though pro. iably considered as purely a question of executive to be left to the heads depart- wents, we feel sure the reversal of this now rule before disorder forces their hands would rebound to the credit of each mem- ber of the Council, and would do much to Jessen the friction which now exists between the two municipalities.

Ho was caducated at St Andrews and Glasgow Universities. He spent his boyhood's days at Barshaw, and after tra- velling abroad joined his father's extensivo business of Arthur and Co.

Mr Playfair I thoroughly agree with your suggestion.
Mr Sharp buggested that there should be provision for the costs of arbitration,
Sir H. Berkeley said both parties would to encourage the appearance of lawyer and the taking of evidence as if the arbitration were Court. It was not desirable to pro- mote libgious arbitration.
Mr Sharp thought it might be necessary to take evidence with regard to the, condi- tion of the houses and the rental.ar: W
Mr Shewan--Do the Government expect the arbitrators to work for nothing?..
The Governor-Yes. Mr Shewan-I am afraid the other side will not get arbitrators to work for nothing, Mr Sharp said the point could be dealt with when they reconsidered the clauses. ·
RIGHT OF APPEAL Ons Clause 270, providing for an appeal to the Governor in Council, Mr Sharpsaked if this did away with the right of appeal to the law courts.
Sir H. Berkeley said they had asked for this right of appeal, and if they elected to appeal to Caesar they must be content with that appeal.

His Excellency pointed out that, in addi tion, the work would be destroyed mud would have to be rebuilt.
Mr Playfair said $200 was nothing to a man who wanted to sezmp his work,
Sir Henry Berkeley suggested $500, and, Mr Playfair nequicscing, that mount was substituted for $2000
Sir H. Berkeley said the owner could always call the attention of the Building Authority trany defects and he would- prosecute.
Mr Sharp said that if the right of appeal to the law courts were not withdrawn it was all right.

WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
about a life assur-
ance company is
just what you
would want to know
about a bank or any
other institution
in which you
thought of investing :-
What is the company's earning ability as shown by its past history?
What is the outlook for future dividends as indicated by its accumulated surplus?
These two ques-
tions answered,
and the rest is of secondary importance. Any
agent of the Equitable
will answer
these questions-
or any others-to
your satisfaction.
