FROM the SCM Fost's 25
Years Ago column: Blr, Before leaving the Colony for Canada, the Hon F. H. May, Colonial Secretary, brought forward ព motion In the Leghintive Council for the re- duelion in tram fares, for work- men's cars, viz, the issue of punch lekels at a reduced rate. I noticed yesterday that the ccolies were getting cheaper rates, viz 20 rides for 30 cents. As you know, there are a good many European workmen travelling daily to and from work, who also have a struggle to nuke ends meet, and who do not ike to all in a third class car crowded with dirty coolics. I would like To ask through you, is the reduction enly incant for the coolles? I think
worthy Colonial Secretary meant it for all work- men, European and Chinese, and it is hard that we should have to pay 10 cents and the coolies che and a half.
