The Committee of the Chamber of Commerce thought the cost of the work, which would be primarily for the benefit of Chinese boat people, should be paid for out of the general revenue of the Colony, and not out of the taxes to which the native population largely contribute. They strongly deprecated any proposal to provide the funds by the imposition of any special tax on shipping, which, as a threat ened renewal of the attempt to destroy the freedom of the port, they' could only regard as a retrograde movement, calculated to prove injurious to the interests of the Colony.

matter was further considered by Govern- ment and, owing to the heavy expenditure which the work would involve, H.E. was unable, at the time, to recommend to the Secretary of State for the Colonies that'sacb an undertaking should he entered upon. There the matter has since been allowed to rest, and, although, eighteen months ago, we revived the stignestion and the matter was again discussed, it has been left, to the Hon. Gershom Stewart to resuscitate the question of additional shelter for cargo-boats and sampans during typhoon seasons, and he may possibly again bring to the notice of the Government the scheme suggested by Mr. R. K. Leigh, which is deserving of every attention.
LOCAL AND GENERAL.
We are glad to note that at the meeting of the Legislative Touncil next week the Hon. Gershom Stewart is to move a resolu. tion to the effect that the shelter for cargo boats and sampans during the typhoon sea- son be increased, and we trust that the proposal will receive the serious considera tion which it "deserves.

When it is remembered that, five years ago, a suggestion was laid before the committee of the Hong kong General Chamber of Commerce, for the formation of a harbour of refuge at the western end of Hongkong, the necessity for such a scheme now being carried out is far more pressing.
