The Boerstary having read the notice conven- ing the meeting.
The Chairman announced that the re- quisite number of votes being represented, the first business was the election of two Conn villora,
Dr. Rossler proposed and Mr. Griffith so- conded the election of Mr. Herbert Fullarton Dent.
Mr. Stanton proposed and Mr. Griffith seconded the appointment of Mr. Arthur Vivian Hogg.
No other nominations being forthcoming, the Chairman announced that Mr. Dout and Mr. Hogg were duly elected.
The next business being the consideration of the scheme for introducing Cauton Waterworks water on Bhameen, which the Council wern instructed at the annual general meeting to consider and report upon, the Chairman requested Mith, the outgoing Chairman of the Contour to address the meeting.
Mr. Griffith said that the results of the Connoil's investigations had been embodied in a printed report entitled, "Data in ra Water Supply Bohemo," which had already beon cironist ed among landrenters and ratepayers. In it would be found the reports of the experts who bad been called in. After consideration of these reports the Council were in favour of the scheme to bring the Waterworks water to Shameen, and the meeting had been called in order that ratepayers, if they concurred, might give a genoral authority to the Council to proceed with negotiations. The Council had come to thoir conclusion for the following reasons; firstly, the infinite superiority, as shown in the expert reports, of the Water works water to the well-water hitherto in use, and, secondly, the probability of
Shameen becoming find more inferior owing to the growth of population and increased building. Ho moved, "That this meeting of landrenters and ratepayers is of opinion that the proposed general scheme of water supply for the Concession be adopted and that the Council be authorized to continuo negotiations with the Canton Waterworks Company, with a view of ultimately bringing the supply on to the Concession for the use of residents, the manner and terms of the supply to be submitted and decided at a fatura special meeting of rate payers, when the Council will be in a position

to submit further data as to what proportion of
the Concession will take the supply," eto.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. Dent,
Dr. Bossier asked whether, in the event of the scheme being brought into operation, it was intended to make it compulsory on all house holders to introduce the water into their houses
and to close up all wells.
The Chairman explained that notch compul-
·sion could be brought to bear upon householders oxcept by a special clause in the Land Regula- tions, and that it was proniature at the present stags-to-consider the question of compulsion.
Dr. Roesler asked that the following suggestion be included in the minutes of the meeting.. Ha did not desire to bring it forward as an amendment to Mr. Grifith's resolution: That the Municipal Council be requested to submit a water supply scheme (a) which gives the Council a certain amount of control over the water supply, (b) which allows each householder to connect his installation with the mains at his froo will, (o) that charges each householders according to the amount of water consumed, either by meter or according to the number of taps on the premises, (d) which allows the present welle, if in satis-
factory condition, to be kept for bases of omer Kenoy,"
The Chairman, in inviting a general disons. sion of the question, said that as a private individual he wished to remind ratepayers of certain objections to the scheme. In Major Probyn's report it was shown that the water, while fit for washing and cooking, was not pot able, and the ratepayers must therefore consider whether in view of this fact the expense and trouble contemplated were worth while. It was further shown that the tusaagement of the waterworks was in parely Chinese hands, that the operators worked by rule of thumb, and that their methods wore likely to Becmore and more primitive. He thought that before an agreement was some to, a qua non should be the employment of a foreign engineer by the Waterworks Company and a guarantee that the water should retain its pre- sent standard Ma
Mr. Stanton said itat it was essential to ascer- tain beforehand what number of householders would be willing to instal the water in their boases.
Dr. Davenport pointed out that în « recent Inspection of wella on behalf of the Council several lind, been found to be unsatisfactory...
Mr. Haynes said that he had been using the Waterworks water for the past eighteen months, and had always found it satisfactory, The in- stallation had never been out of order
Mr. Dent pointed out that in Dr. Selby's report it was shown that the filtration systom of the Waterworks Company was imperfect.
Mr. Grifith submitted certain estimates of the cost of water imptallation which had been prepared by Mr. Hill. Installation for a four bedroom house. Four cocks for bedrooms and one for kitchen. Total coat for gin. pipe, $62.50. Four cocks for bedrooms and one for in pipe, $100.00. The installation for the Victoris Hotel, including fixing meter and providing 15 taps, had cost $223.30. The monthly bill had averaged about $15.00 Canton entry
A show of hands was taken on Mr. Grifith's resolution which was carried unanimously.
In closing the meeting, the Chairman said that Mr. Grifith bad on his approaching dorar turo for home resigned his position of Chair- man of the Council, which he had filled for many years. After referring to the many valuable services which he had for so long ren- dered to ratepayers, the Chairman seked the meeting to pass a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Griffith.
The vote of thanks was passed with acclama tion.

It made a profound impres- sion everywhere, calling forth expressions of heartfelt sympathy and condolence both in the Press and amongst all classes of the population. The official Beich Anzeiger announced the and ovent in the following terms -

The feeling of bitterness which prevailed in this country against King Edward in former years has, it thinks, gradually subsided, as his attitude lost its menacing character and, althongli it may not be possible to forget entirely all that once stood between him and the German people, it is not with unfriendly feelings that they lock upon his death.
