The Tanjong Pagar interest is, as already re- marked, a very powerful one. Indeed, it is not considered either right or respectable to say anything about Tanjong Pagar,
Seriously speaking, however, it must be admiled that an able and comprehensive scheme has been very well worked out by the Tanjong Pagar Dock Company, and has met with deserved success. It may be said that until a comparatively short time ago the facili- ties afforded by Tanjong Pagar were almost all that any reasonable shipowner or merchant could wish.
