Another reference had been made to this subject earlier in the year at a meeting of the Finance Committee of the Council, when Mr. FLETCHER, CX- plaining a vote of $50,000 for fifty railway wagons, said the Chinese Section bad not supplied its quota of rolling stock, with the result that the Colony was "called upon to pay considerably more in respect of capital and maintenance than its fair proportion, with the consequence that the Colony's ratio with regard to the division of through bookings "decreases in pro- portion to its capital while the Chinese ratio was increasing.
"However," said Mr. FLETCHER, we realise that the Chinese Section is suffering from mis- fortunes which are entirely antide its control, and it seems to be a far-sighted policy for this Colony to buy consider ably more rolling stock against the day when affairs will be quieter over the border, and with a view to a possible junction of the Kowloon-Cagton Railway It is a with the Hankow Railway." diffeult situation, since it is impossible to forecast how long the present deplor
