BRITISH NORTH BORNEO.
PROGIESS DUKING PAST YEAR.
From the minutes. of the third annual general meeting of the North Borneo Chamber of Commerce we take the follow ing extracts:
TAXATION.
During the latter half of our year what the Government would probably call revision of the customs tariff took place in other words a considerable increase in various import duties was put in force, notably on sugar, tobacco, kerosene and provisions. The proposed increase on the last named was strengously objected to by the members of this chamber, especially by the Chinese members. A deputation of the chamber waited on his Excellency the Governor to lay our views before him. At his suggestion the chamber has proposed an alternative tax, to take the place of the increase of the tax on-provisions, and,
LIGHTHOUSES,
As you know, we have frequently urged that the time has come when some start should be made towards lighting the Borneo coast. It is understood that the this direction, though no details as to Government intend to do something in their proposals have as yet been made kubwa. It is much to ho hoped that they will not allow any initial difficulty or expense to stand in the way of erecting value of shipping which now comes to British North Borneo waters can fairly the several lights which the extent and
claim to require.
The ballot for the Committee resulted in the election of the following gentlemen. Pis, Darby, Aston, Wardrop, Nolze, for the current year, viz.:-Messrs. Chan Cope and Wells.
On the motion of Mr. B. V. Seaward, seconded by Mr. Paul Nolze, Mr. J. N. Wardrop wus unanimously re-elceted, Secretary.

I hope that the day is now not far distant when we may be able to look forward to direct communica tion between North Borneo and Europe as a practical possibility. Sooner or later it is, of course, bound to come, and its advent will no doubt be stimulated by the enormous pist of shipping cargo at Singapore, which is now a serious hind rance to the development of our export trade.
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
As regards telegraphic communication, it is gratifying to note that an actual start has been made at Sandakan with the erection of a wireless station, and our thanks are due to the Government. for having taken steps to put telegraphic communication on a reliable and business like basis. We have reason to hope that they will make arrangements to work the wireless station here as soon as completed in connection with the United States system in the Southern Philippines, and, if so, the vexations break-downs, which have been increasingly frequent of late, will be a thing of the past.
As regards roads, the importance and j absence of which the chamber has many times brought to the notice of the Govern- ment, it is satisfactory to note that a start has now been promised. As is usual when any considerable outlay of capital is pro posed, nearly all of it is to be spent for the benefit of the west coast, and it is understood that about seventy miles of road construction is to be undertaken there. However, we have a definite pro- miso that the mads in and round Bandakan shall he -improved and extended, though a suggestion that the main road should be metalled out as far as the fifth mile stone was regarded as a more or less unjustifiable request. It is also understood that a survey for a trunk read across the country is to be taken in hand, and; much as such an undertaking wenld be welcomed by all, it is scarcely likely to energe from its present stage for some time to come.
CONTRACT LABOUR. **
This is a subject which has engaged || the special attention of the chamber throughout the year. The present posi- tion as defined by the Government, is well-known to all of you and there is no point in my referring to it in detail There is no doubt that there is a great deal of anxiety and uneasiness in the minds of all employers of labour, but per sonally, I do not think that there exist any grounds for the very serious views taken by some employers. I cannot believe that the British North Borneo. Government or the home Government will ever refuse to modify any laws they may ave made if it can be shown that such legislation will entail the abandonment, or even the crippling of any established industry here
HEALTH:
The health of the community is still far from good. Two serious outbreake of epidemie illnesses have occurred, which occasioned considerable loss of life and great inconvenience to trade. It is grati- fying to record that the Government have taken in hand the recrganisation of the medical department, and it is to be hoped that the new P.M.O.. will be successful in introducing the many and much-needed reforms. The question of quarantine regulations has again been under dis- cussion, and there is reason to believe that in the near future this important matter will be put on a proper basis.
IMMIOTATION.
This is a matter the importance of which the chamber has more than once urged on the Government, It is satis factory, therefore, to be able to record that an actual start has been made by the Government, and a settlement, officer. appointed, and some few immigrants have Already arrived. The success of this 4 yerno will largely depend on its being efficiently and properly administered in its early days.
