There is
a wharf of mild steel piles at Quarry Bay. It has been there since 1882. It has cost very little for repaira. It is nearly as good as new. It offers tile or ao re- sistance to the sea in bad weather and its || tendency to cause silting-up is of the very slightest. There is always a scour of the sea backwards and forwarda that keeps it Fairly free. When the grand new stone pler that the P.W.D. has designed takes the place of the present wooden wharf it will be HONGKONG, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1897, much less useful, much less accessible in a

On the 4th a letter was published in our from the members of the Gaol staff about columns embodying certain complaints their quarters, to which we appended a few words calling attention to the fact that there were many complaints as to the management of the Gaol, not as regards the prisoners but on the part of the oflcers. The Superintendent of the Gaol questioned the whole of the warders very 1.00 shortly after as to the authorship of the complaint and called upon the man or men who had made it to come 1.30
forward and declare themselves. Of course he got no satisfaction; so he pro- ceeded, we are informed, to threaten that If anything of the sort happened again he would punish the whole lot of them.

The steel pler is far and away the more inexpensive elther to construct or to keep in repair. It will not cause silding up to any extent. It will be far more safe and more accessible in bad weather, and in a place like this, where the traffic in boats and launches up and down the harbour and from one side to the other is so great, it is a very important point. It can even be made more ornamental than the plain granite construction- with its wooden check pieces, and yet it is impossible to get the PW.D. even to consider the question. They have made their plans and they must be carried out It is absolutely impossible that a govern
