THE INTERMITTENT SYSTEM, AND WATER ACCOUNT:.
The Hon. Playfair rose and asked questions of which he had given notice as follows:
-
.
(1) Would the Director of Public Works give some explanation of the inequalities of the intermittent system with special reference to Queen's Garden and the higher levels of the Peak-why very many houses, which ought to get the full supply for the advertised period, get litle or no water and even that little at a ↑ most insufficient pressure?
(2.) To ask the Director of Public Works why the. Water Accounts for 30th September, are not yet out?
MEDAL.
Through the courtesy of Mr. E. A. Howell, the general superintendent of the P. & 0. Company, and Hon. Secretary to the Corona- Gion Celebration Committee, a representative of this paper was afforded an opportunity of viewing one of the Hongkong Corona- tion" medals, which arrived from home per the s.5. Bombay, on Monday last. The medal, which is made of bronze, is the* <ame size as the British dollár, and has on one side the words," Sir Ileary A. Flake. G. G. M. G., Governor. of Hongkong,” and the profiles of the King and Queen, On the reverse we find the following: "To commemorate the Coronation of their Majesties, the King and Queen," and the view, usually depicted, of the Colony The medal is nicely finish- ed, has a better appearance than the

The inspections for the purpose of ascertaining and reporting on the supply of water under the intermittent system have also absorbed much of the time of the senior officers.

Son, of No. 67 Baker Street, London. The medals, to the number of six thousand, are cach encased in a kandsome square box, covered with red morocco and bearing op its surface, the inscription "Hongkong 1502." We are in- formed that there will be no official distributior, as the ships that took part in the ceremonies had either left Chin or are distibuted at the various treaty ports. The med is are for the Garrison, Police, and the members of 11. M. Ships who were present at the Coronation cere. munies. In connection with the above, it will be interesting to know that when the idea of a Coronation medal was proposed it was through the instrumentality of Mr. E. A. Hewet
who advocated that although dinners and money were
their way very good in ties would be better. The medals for the yes a medal to commemorate the festivi Military and for the Navy will eventually be forwarded to Major Hamilton and Mr. Bremner, secretary of the Cummodore, for distribution.);

not blind to the fact that there is a very decided opinion that Hongkong should not be divorced from China on the matter of its currency. The Chinese community do not intend waiting until others are coin pelled to move, but have already held a meeting at the Commercial Union and discussed the matter. No decision was arrived at regarding the question, but the meeting was postponed in order to obtain the views of the commercial section of that population, and then discuss the problem at 1718d a future date when a definite understanding
