THE WATER CHARGES
Reduction Sought
The following letter was forward- ed to us by the Secretary of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce fast evening:-
July 6, 1935. The Hon. Mr. N.L. Smith..
Secretary for Chinese Affairs,
Hong Kong
Sir-I have the honour to transmit for the kind consideration of Government the views expressed by a sub-committee of my Cham- ber on the matter of their effect on property and existing water charges. The following is a precise of views expressed.
1-Rates on Property
(B) Owing to the present econo- mic depression, considerable deduc- tions in rents have been made.
(b) It is not uncommon to find In houses with four storeys only two storeys let, while the other two remain unoccupied.
(c) After deducting rates,, water "charges and Incidental expenses such as cost of repairs, the net Income derived by owners from their property is, in many cases. negligible.
(d) Rents continue to decline, therefore, rates collected on the ..basis of an assessment made sever-

WOMAN IMPRISONED
FOR FRAUD
Before Mr. Q. A. A. Macfadyen at Central Magistracy yesterday, Chan Yi Ku, a 41-year-old married woman was charged with larceny of 40 dozen pairs of stocking. valued at $72.86; & dozen singlets valued at $81.80; 5 blankets valued at $19.50 and 4 reels of cotton thread, valued at 40 cents; these being the property of Luf YI Kwong. After evidence was taken defendant
was sentenced to one month's imprisonment and ordered" to pay $35 compensation.

4 (e) The present rate is high, and was introduced on the ground that the exchange value of sterling, which formed ап appreciable portion of Government expendi- ture, required a higher dollar in-
crease, The value of sterling has now dropped considerably and the community awaits the restoration of the former rate. In times of emergency such as during the World Waf, Government might reasonably raise rates, but as soon as the emergency ceased, the rate ought again to return to normal
(f) The points mentioned above have direct effect on property as an investment an indirect effect or income derived from spamps. Reduction in rates would thus benefit both Government and property owners.

2-Water Charges
(a) The existing system of uni- versal meterage and the abolition of direct main to house supply is an inducement to tenants to waste water as only landlords are respon- sible for water charges.
(b) Water wastage by tenants will undoubtedly result in greater difficulties in times of water scar- city.
fe The high rate together with water charges cause a great deal of hardship to landlords and re- quire the serious consideration of Government.
It is suggested that Government should supply separate meters for each floor on the basis similar to the electric meter system I tenants are made responsible for water charges they will not waste water.
These views were discussed at a monthly meeting on June 4, 1935. A result' of which, I have been re- quested by my Chamber to ap- proach Government with a view to 1. Restoring the old rate on pro- perty that is 13 per cent.
2. Bringing about a reduction in water charges 'to. 37.5 cents per 1,000 gallons that is a reduction of 50 per cent, on the charge for excess consumption as outlined in the report of the Hong Kong Economic Commission.
