They are rufficiently question was sent in to Government powerful for the work they have to at the end of last year with the do, "but are there enough of them? hope of obtaining relief. So far no The answer is supplied by the ap reply has been received. Mean-parently flourishing state of the while landlords are continuing to slave-running trade across the Red pay on excess consumption which Sea
amounts
in some CASOS
toTM over $70 a quarter and in the average to $40 to $50 a quarter.
No allowance bearing any pro- portion to what landlords have to pay is made in the assessments, with the consequence that we have even to pay rates on what we have already paid for water.
This state of affairs amounts in effect to a heavy levy on landlords. There is only one remedy I can think of, and that is for landlords to give up meters. This might cause inconvenience to tenants, but I feel that the inconvenience would be negligible if landlords were to Ladke an approplate reduction in the rentI would suggest $3 per door per month, and ask tenants to ac cept responsiblity for getting their own water supply. However, where tenants desire it, landlords could obtain the necessary coolie hire to supply water at 83 per floor per month, thus preventing any hard- ship which might arise on the severence of meters.,
No Waste
So far as I can see, it is the avowed object of Government to prevent waste, and not to make a profit on water. It appears that if the luxury of a meter is required, Government insists on full payment that there is nothing to prevent people from going to the fountains
for water.
I therefore, propose that the members of this association decide on a common policy and that is to give up meters on their property, making a rebate of $3 per floor per month for coolie hire to carry, water to each floor.
A Cargo of Anguish
Here is an extract from a letter marine by a British mercantile officer, published in the current issue of the "Nautical Magazino," describing what he saw recently in the Red Sea:
A big dhow racing across from the African side, going like a des- troyer with a force five (moderate) wind on her beam. As we closed her we could hear heart-rending cries coming down wind and could see that she was packed from end to end of her open waist with stal- wart negroes sented on thwarts or benches, and evidently fastened by their ankles. About twelve or four- teen were stowed abreast, and there were about twenty rows of them, so that meant some 200 to 300 "poor wretches were being transported in one vessel.
So close were we that we could see the perspiration gleaming on their black skins, accentuating their fine physique; the whites of their eyes showed with startling clear- neas as they shouted in their obvious terror...
