At last week's meeting of the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council, when a vole of $377,400, high cost of living allowance to Civil Servants, was put forward for approval, a strong plea on behalf of the "dollar-paid” men was made by a member, who further objected to an "all- important question" being discussed by Unofficial Members "behind closed doors." The debate, and the comment and criticism arising therefrom, are concisely reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,
