Tramways for Shanghai A matter which has been much under dis- cussion of late in Shanghai is the proposed tramways, and the Ching Gazette, commenting on the tenders, says
We are very glad that the local authorities have lost, no time in laying before the public par- ticulars regarding the Tramway readers, which venskad for in our issue of Thursday fast. The public are now in a position to judge of the respective, merits of the several tenders, and more particularly of that sent in by the Shang- hai Tramway Syndicate, Limited, of 63-64, New Broad Street, London, and Messieurs and B.

It is, however, satisfactory to note that all con- ditions inserted in the invitation for tenders have been accepted, but on reference to the copy of the "Pamphlet of Conditions" issued by the Municipal Council for these Settlements, that clause 38 which reads "Concessionaires will be required to accept the jurisdiction of H.B.M.'s Supreme Court for China and Japan in the Foreign Settlenionts, and the French been doing very much, the Germans and To Singapore: Mr. C.

Row in the but hereafter in the not unlikely event of disable and must take care of his buish putes with the Syndicate, it might prove a very awkward point for the Municipality. We note by home papers that most of the municipalities which give concessions to tramway companies spend a large portion of their energies upon the thankless task of keeping the concessionaires up to the mark in the matter of road repairs and to have no tribunal defined in an archaic and loosely-jainted place like Shanghai might prove a terrible thorn in the side of the Ratepayers for years to come. But what is in our humble opinion fatal to all chance of any of the tenders being accepted is the utterly ridiculous sum offered for the extensive and valuable franchise asked for. The highest bid In this respect is Mexican $50,000 a year, S.C.C. ground between the Single and Married divided between the General Foreign and the being brought to a definite conclusion, and, French Municipalities and the Chinese authori-like most matrimonial differences the result ties. This we suppose would be divided in the had to be called a draw. The Bachelors made proportion of three-fifths to this side and two- tot, and their opponents, when stumps were Bhs to the French, and Chinese. So that for drawn, had three wickets to fail and were 18 $30,000 a year, we on this side would surrender' our roads to the tender mercies of a powerful to choose between the elevens. Appended is rung behind. There was therefore not much home company which would be superior to any local court and would simply do as it liked without any chance of being pulled up as long as it kept within the strict letter of the law laid down in the franchise. Amongst other things Tramways were first spoken of as a means to clear our streets of some of the congested traffic, by reducing the present excessive number of vehicles. Reduction of the number of vehicles now means serious loss of revenue when every vehicle is heavily taxed. But $30,000 a year would go only a very little way towards com pensating the Municipality for the heavy loss of revenue from jinricksha, wheelbarrow and -carriage licenses that it would entail if it were a success. Its success, however, is not so certain, as people at a distance imagine, for the wheelbarrows carry their hundreads of thousands of mill workers at present at the marvellously low rate of three-tenths of a cent per mile. No electric tramway could hope to compete with this primitive means of locomotion which admirably suits a people with whom time is no object and discomfort no drawback. But most serious of all to our minds is the fact that none of the tenders seem to consider the phenomenal narrowness of the densely crowded streets. which their trumcars would be called upon to traverse. We are strongly in favour of tram- ways theoretically
but when it comes to laying them down in such narrow, twisting, crowded arteries of traffic, as the Nanking road, Kikfang; Hankow, or other roads leading off the Broadway, (sadly misleading title), as far the Old Dock Seward Road, Kiangsa, Chekinng Road and the tortuous congested street lending from the West Gate, our courage fails us, and we are afraid it will provo a physical im- possibility to run electric tramways without torrible results to life and limb. In this case. it would eventually fall upon the Municipalities. to bear the cost of purchasing the land in the Arrowest streets, so that the Tramways, could run in safety. If the Rateyayers consider for a moment what this will mean eventually they will think twice before granting any franchise,. unless the Concessionaires are prepared to buy their way through the narrower and more crowded streets.

Governments, so that the people are fully em played on good wages, The revenue last year was 9,153 and the expenditure. £12,340; but part of the latter was extraordinary and not likely to occur again, and the Governor anticipates a substantial surplus during the current year, as, there was ons in 1897. There is no public debt, but a Parliamentary grant in 1871-72 of. over 45,000, made without interest, is now being paid off by annual instalments. The imports last year amounted to £62,985, or nearly double those of the previous year, owing to the increase of the garrison and the extensive fortifications and barracks now in progress, The Imports are mostly food stuffs and building material, while the exports, which consist-chiefly of potatoes, amounted only 50 54,991 Two English ladies have in- pport decline. troduced laco making amongst the girls of hard work the land with great success, and the Governor Jible experimenting on brick and tile making from of the clay which is found on the island.
