CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
(Continued from paġę 9.J'
No doubt at the beginning of the Colony's history, the present loen- tion of the garrison was quite appro priate, but with the musking of runds and the development, of motor transport, its usefulness for wili- tary purposea has long gone out of date,
I understand that the War Offico. authorities are the only abstacle to satisfactory exchange of sites being arranged.
We contribute 20 per cent, of our revenue to the Imperial Exchequer; but the extraordinary obstinacy of the War Office, costs the trade of the Colony a vastly larger sum thân | that,
Owing to the impossibility of expansion in the natural direction tand in the central district has risen. from $6.00 to $50 per square foot during the, last fifteen years, and rents have increased 50 per cent. daring the same period. Without exception, every foreign business Company and firm and every for- cign shopkooper is affected by this, and consequently the whole com- munity.
Had the Military lands been | available, these enormous increaseg would not have taken place and the high cost of living. which is so! detrimental to the Colony have been { in part avoided.
I hope the Chamber will endorse the remarks you, Sir, made recently on this subject in your capacity of Chairman of the Hongkong, "sad" Shanghai Bank, and will send a strong representation to the Govern- went on this vitally important matter.
Finally, Gentlemen, I am sure you will wish me to express on behalf of the general body of members, our indebtedness to the Chairman for his able performance of the onerous duties of the office during the past year in which he has also, had many ather public duties to perform, a representative of the Chamber on the Legislative Council during a great part of the year.
