IF EXCELLENCY—Bat we have à far larger | military and naval force in Heagkong than in the Straits.
Hon-Ho-KA-X, but-for-Imperial -par-Hongkong, Wilir regard to the demand made post. I quite agree that if the colony produces upon the colony for money already spent iu A million or two million dollars more rovinno barracks, de, I think it is unreasonable for the than we get now, it is still foir that we should. have to pay 174 per cent of it. That might increase to two or three lakbaI still be glad if the time would come for Hoogkung to pay a million doors as its 17 per cent. (Laughter and uppimas). But what I say is that the more we have to borrow and spend, whether on the sani- tary department or the water apply or naÝ roads or anything else for the good of the colony, we shat require a larger amount of money, and we must borrow the money and pay interest on the loans uzless wa hippon to have surphas enough to defray everything. Now, wo onnot do that in future without some of the works returning to me some amount of interest or profit, but this return will be insufficient to mest interest in tin beans and sinking fund as well as the 13 par cent military contribn tion. So the ect of that policy will be that Hongkong will ginitially have to stop all public works and improvements; otherwise the more it improves the colony raising money to do, s) the more it will have to pay to the Imperial Government as military contribution. For these ronsons, which I regret to have expressed
O roughly, I beg to second the amendment.
Ha A MaCOFACHI-Your Excellency, I beg to rise in support of the amendment proposed by the sonor unofficial member. When a few years age our military contriontion w increased in one bould from 20,000 to £40,000 per aquam, we protested that the amenat way arcossive and unfair. We also protested against any eum wo might be called spon to pay being fixed in gold, on account of our income being entirely in silver. In answer to our protost and in orlar to settle these "vered questions" we are mixto what is termed a fair offer, viz. 174 pr. n our entire rovenne, lesis premium on lead sea. The offer is cortainly a very fair and safe une, as slali shortly prove, for the home Government, bat it is quite the contrary *for this colony, and I hope it may never be accepted.
