The following are the answers given to the questions asked by the How, Sir Paul Chater, on behalf of the on. H. E. Pollock, K., at the meeting of the Legislative Council yester
lay afternoon :—
TAIPINGSHAN RECLAMATION,
1. What was the total amount which was paid to owners for the resumption of insanitary properties in Taipingsban?
What was the total cost of laying out such named land, including roads, drains, retaining walls, etc.?
What is the total amount which has been received by the Government in premia from the sale of such portions of such resumed land as have been sold by the Government, and what is the total annual Crown Rent which is
received by the Government in respect of such portions?
Chinese?
What is the area of that part of such resumption which it is proposed to reserve as
Public Park for Chinese? When does the Government propose to give the members of the Legislative Council an

But, gentle- men, in the sound and satisfactory position our company stands in-day, Mr. Ray has left fitting memorial to the best years of a strenuous life spent wholly and devotedly in its service, and although, unhappily, we cann: restore his sha tered health, you will, I am sure, cordially support your directors in their desire to, in some measure, recognise his long and faithful services, by ensuring to him a frerdam from anxiety in the years of retirement that may be left to him. I shall be glad to answer any questions you may desire to ask before formally move the adoption of the report and balance sheet.
