This was turned down.
Has it ever occurred to the Hong Kang Government that the poor rikisha and chair coolies must als meet the H.C.L. even if their cost of living has gone up a few cents a day? Has it also occurred to the powers-that-be, in adjusting the wonderful scale of fares, the absurdity to set such "scale of fares" by the time-system? Why not also adopt bus and tram fares by the hour or fraction thereof? Of colirse there would be "kicks" coming, and I fear the department responsible for the "scale of fares" for the rikisha and chairs has ne pep to face the consequence.
