INFLUX OF MOTOR CARS.
Until the coming of the motor car there was not a single decent road in the whole of China, always excepting. the trifling mileage in the Treaty Ports, which, of course, was due to the activity of the foreigner, says the Times Peking correspondent. Bot the foreigner, first with his carriages
and carts, and now with his motors,
has opened the eyes of the Chinese, and roads are appearing everywhere. -with cars and lorries to watch. The institution of railwaya is a slow pro- cess, because the expense involtes |foreign capital or Government initia- tive, but, given a road, it is open to any individual to buy a car or a lorry and to run it for pleasure or for pro- Et. The Chinese are doing both at an astonishing rate, and making the foreigner blink at the vista opening up for the sale of motor vehicles.
Ten years ago there were na motor- cars in Peking, bu: municipal im- provements had begun, and there [may have been 20 miles of well-laid streets within the city, although there were none outside. To-day there N INTERIM DIVIDEND OFmust be at least 120 miles of streets A ONE DOLLAR (81) per share in the city where motors can go com MONDAY, the 19th September, 1921. of made roads regularly used for for account 1921 will be payable on fortably, and outside nearly 100 miles Shareholders are requested to apply for motor traffic.
