Colossal Sums Mentioned in Luna Park's Action in Supreme Court
99 9-10 OF THE TOTAL REVENUE
Allegation of Municipal Council Over-Riding Foreign Consular 'Authority
A start was made in H.M. Superme Court on February 8, with the long-postponed action arising out of the closure of Luna Park by the Shanghai Municipal Council to dog-racing and the sub- soquen cessation of all such operations with the Settlement.
Mr. II borrow, leading for the shareholders, in cross-exami- uation brought out some colossal figures as to the amounts expend. od by the general public on dog-rhcing, including an admission of over $10,000,000 being invested in the pari-mutuel on the one course alone in a year. The inventor of part of the machinery, drawing a porcentage on 'pari-mutuel takings, received over $100,000 a year. Counsel also extracted information that 99 9/10 per cent. of the company's income came from the pari-mutuel, he suggesting that an avorage of eighty people each evening paid for admission.
For the plaintiffs it was argued that the Council bad given 'fall approval to the project and, in any case, had no right to take action themselves for a closure without Court authority.
