refined salt be treated as a luxury and that a surtax be collected.
Local Chinese merchants in the manufacture and sale of refined
salt are greatly stirred by the re- port and have wired to the third plenary session of the Central Kuo
mintang Committees, Aghting the propoanl of their competitors in Klangsu. They point out that the use of refined sait is not limited to the "artistocracy" but is general among the Chinese people. It has never been regarded as a tonic and is therefore a necessity rather than a luxury

Thus at the meeting of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharves & Godown Company it was forecast that within a certain specified date there would be larger berths constructed able to accommodate larger vessels than have yet been able to berth here.
At the Telephone Company meeting it was stated that negotiations are making progress for a trunk telephone line between Hong Kong and Canton, whilst an announcement was also made regarding the change locally to the automatic system of telephones.
At the Dairy Farm meeting reference was made to the satisfactory nature of the Colony's milk supply and to the Immunity of the Colony's herd from rinderpest.
A progressive policy was also foreshadowed at the meeting of the Green Island Cement Company.
