OPEN SPACES.
APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION.
Mr. E. M. Hazelind, on behalf of the owner of Nos. 127 to 141, Hollywood Road (8 houses), made an application to the Sanitary Board for exemption from the provision of open spaces and Building Ordinance, and pointed out under section 180 of the Public Hearth
that in consequence of their situation the houses would always enjoy an unobstructed open space of an unlimited area in their rear, increased in height under Ord. 1 of 1953. as the houses in Circular Pathway, cannot be The depth of the houses varies from 27 ft. to 33 ft. Each house would be well lighted and ventilated, as the fronts were practically open on the upper florrs facing Hollywood Road. The windows would be each 3 ft. 6 by 7 ft. Exemption from the provision of yard space was granted to the owner by the Sanitary Board in May, 1902, in respect of existing hausts.
The Director of Public Works minuted :- I see that the scavenging lane is shown to be only 3 it, in width and it would be imposible to widen in future by taking 3 ft. from the adjacent houses as they are on a much lower level. I think exemption might be recom- mended on condition that the lane is made 6 ft. wide and that no compensation is to be paid in respect to it.
Dr. Barnet minated:-1 think exemption from provision of an open space might be granted in this case so long as the window in the reat is not cut off from the main room so as lo form a lobby.
He also minated:-In the rear of these proposed houses is a retaining wall on which the rear wall will stand. This retaining wall has been patched considerably and is some. what bulged in places. I think the P.W.D. should have their attention called to this retaining wall so that they may consider, if they have not already done so, as to whether it is capable of upholding this enormous weight of the pro- posed rear wall,
The matter was discussed at yesterday's theeting of the Board.
The President said that exemption was granted last year for the existing houses and this application was maile in reference to the proposed re-erection 'under section 180. He moved that the exemption be granted subject to the conditions stipulated by the Director of Public Works.
Captain Lyons seconded and the motion was agreed to,

He was about to con. tinue bis search of the premises when the gentleman who had been robbed sprang out of, bed and chased him on to the verandal. The Chinaman managed to get oyer in the nick of time and climbed along the verandahs of differ- ent houses. Mr. Laing, thereupon, aroused the other inmates and ran down into the streel in time to see another man acting as a scout, hiding under a tree. On reaching the road be saw the thief succeed in reaching the ground by sliding down a rain pipe. He thereupon chased the Chinaman and managed to catch him near the Naval Hospital, though during the chase the thief threw the watch into a nullah. The accomplice had fled in an oppo site direction. Sergeant Landers now came custody, and the watch was recovered and upon the scene, and the rogue was placed into handed over to the police.

NOTES FROM THE NEW TERRITORY,
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
November 5th.
In a recent issue, we published information concerning the sinking of a flower-boat, which was being towed by the launch Wingfork, on the Samchun river. This boat has now been raised and the body of another victim was found in- side of it. It is rumoured that, at the time the accident occurred, the Wingfoot had not a licensed coxswain on board. Several other calamities of this kind are likely to occur so long as the authorities do not insist that launches used for towing purposes are provided with long wooden fenders outside, so that junks, when lasaed alongside, cannot get under the streak board of the tug. Rumours are rife that duntin police station is about to be done away with and it is very doubtful if this will prove a wise measure. Robberies are frequent in the district and along the Chinese horder, and the thieves enjoy a certain advantage in being able to commit their depredations in our territory a night and get back almost immediately over the frontier, where it is impossible to secure their capture. The Chinese are 'begin.

fields they have commenced getting in the sugar-cane. The cane sent over for trial by the authorities does not seem to interest the natives, for, up to the present, it has not given better results than the local plant; with the exception of a small plantation at Santin polic station, where it has been grown to nearly double the size of the ordinary cane. This is probably owing to the better care given to its cultivation. Mr. Chubb, who is in charge of the 1. M. C. Station at Shamchun, was recently robbed of a considerable quantity of Jewelry by his boy. There seems to be little chance of recovering the stolen property and all efforts to capture the culprit have proved unavailing, The following promotions amongst the i. M. C.

CHAN TING WAI BEHEADED.
When Viceroy Shen returned from Kwangs he was met by a number of small guard boats and steam launches. When the crackers of
welcome were let off a bullet flew past the head of the Viceroy. Because of this the man at the head of the guard boats was arrested and kept in prison. Last Monday he was be headed. There was no evidence to prove that the shot was fired by Chan Ting Wai but he was responsible for the conduct of those under him and had to pay the penalty. He was executed on the common execution ground. There are many protests because of the way the trial was conducted. The small officials say that it is impossible to get an impartial trial.

The native papers are in error in saying that Li Ka Cheuk has been beheaded. He is stit in prison. A few days ago he was thrust into the inner prison from which few men come forth unless it is to go to the execution ground. The Chinese regard Li's case as hopeless. The fact is he has not the money to buy himself free. A number of friends are willing to help, but their purses are not deep enough.
