A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
The full dress debate on the Colony's Budget Estimates took place during the week. Unofficial members brought up various points on the Vote where it was claimed economies might be effected, in particular as regards the Military Con- tribution and Government personnel. At the same time, they expressed themselves as satisfied that increased. revenue was essential to the progress of the Colony, and so, whilst agreeing with the proposed new assessments in principle, confined themselves to a hope that they might be operative only temporarily, until such time as Bnancial The OVERLAND conditions in the Colony improved. CHINA MAIL contains the full speeches, including the one by Is Excellency the Governor in which a proposal for a different basis of conversion of sterling salaries for Govern. ment officials was agreed to.
The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL also contains an exclu- sive article in connection with the intention of the Govern- 'ment to construct a new motor, road to the Peak, at an estimated cost, it is understood, of $50,000. Interviews with heads of local utility services make the feature one of unusual interest.
Startling revelations as to the loss of $20,000 yearly on the local broadcasting service are contained in a special article in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, It is. understood. on reliable authority that a private company who were interested in broadcasting in the Colony abandoned the. scheme when it was established that at the present it would not be a profitable one.
Another special feature of the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL is an exclusive interview with an official of the Municipality of Greater Shanghai, who came to the Colony specially to study the ferry systems, with a view to institut- ing a service across the Whangpoo. The scheme, which incidentally involves the extensive development of Poolung, is described in detail in the current issue.
There is no phase of the life of the Colony or of China that does not receive attention in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL the weekly paper that YOU MUST ORDER NOW.
