TENANCY TRIBUNAL APPLICATION
first for thirst
Counsel Puts Up A Proposition To The Dairy Farm, Co.
AND PLEADS FOR CO-OPERATION
ON PART OF GOVERNMENT
"I am of the considered opinion that this whole problem could be solved but there is lack of co-operation on the part of Government in this urgent problem. We should force Government to play the game. I know myself there is available Crown land at North Point."
Thus declared Mr M. A. da Silva in the Tenancy Tribunal this morning at the resumed hearing of the application by the Dairy Farm Ice and Cold Storage Co. Ltd for exemption of their property of 50,000 square feet from the provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Ordinance, Chapter 255. The Company plan to build a chiller storage plant at a cost of $1,350,000.
Mr Silva, who is appearing for six Chinese firms opposing the applica tion, also remarked, "My experience of the local Government is this: that when matters are aired out publicly we get a fair deal. When we go to the man at the desk we do not get it."

Apart from the in- toresting sound of this phrase, It really has got a meaning for the Anglo Saxon "ruh" meant rough or hairy and a "rog" or "rugg” was a shaggy, dog. A flea in the coat of an ungroomed hairy dog is in a very comfortable posi tion.
