helped through the winter months thereby. Possibly there would be people willing to take away the excavated matter to use it as a fertiliser; if not, there should be no serious difficulty in the way of its disposal. We wonder what could have been the real reason for allowing this shelter to silt up as it has. There must have been a time when evan Mrs. FARTINGTON'S famous broom would have sufficed to keep the place chip- shape and useful. The suggestion has been made, though we are disinclined to adopt it, that the ambitieus reclamation scheme now apparently abandoned had something to do with it. Certainly, if the idea was to let the place develop into dry land by itself, it has come not far short of being realized.

avail to awaken the sense of duty. There is one point that has not been made by the HOD. Mr. OSBORNE and the others who share our views on this subject. Here at Hongkong the Government has been favoured by Nature with a harbour that has cost them nothing. Considering that the majority of busy harbours in the world are uiaintained at the cost of almost daily dredging, the Hongkong Authorities may be said to have a big reserve fand for harbour expenditure.
Looked at in that way, they can well afford to make some sacrifice now, to make the harbour what it should be. They have done very little for the harbour and shipping hitherto, because they have not been called upon to do it. An immediate provision of shelter for the smaller but indispensable craft is as import not on the new fire float, and more so, though that is a thing we should have had loug age, if our officials had a sense of proportion and
