EXPROPRIATION BILL
[Concluded from yesterday.]
MR..7URNER,
Mr. Tamer said.—The acquisition of the T. D. Co.'s property by the Government of the Straits Seulements for which this bill provides will, I am convinced, serve the best interest of the Colony. Not only will this be so as regards Sing pore, but for Penang also the measure is The work on the Lubuan included the re.ghly desirable. The North Settlement is the newing of nearly the whole of the keel of the natural outlet, or inlet, for a much larger share vessel, the replacing of some of her outside of the trade of the peninsula than it is general planking, the renewal of the greater number ly credited with heing, but facilities for dealing of the ribs of the vessel, besides the streng with that trade are urgently needed.

facilities. As it is to government we must look for carrying out works of the magnitude that these should ultimately be, it is necessary that the property be vested in Government. The more closely one looks at the proposed men sure in all its bearings, the more obvious its advantages to the Colony become.

The saloon and cabins have been improved also, in some details, to make them more comfortable. In fact improvements have
construction of the wharves would be dead work' | for the time being. The increased charges would have to come either out of dividends or from increased rates. It had already been said that he had brought no charges against the Company. The late Chairman of the Company had himself done so, and to his mind they had not been answered. He gave distinct instances and repeated that the policy of the London Committee was that the 12 per cent. dividend was not to be touched. For these reasons and for reasons of public policy the thought there was sufficient justification for the courts they had adepted.
'HIGH-HANDED' AN EPITHET OF ABUSE. Their action had been called high-handed,
High-handed was an epithet of abuse and not much of an argument, bat if it were applied because they had taken immediate action, surely
the "action" taken six months hence would be equally high-handed. Their justification for their action was that the Cỏ. had been charged with a great public trust: it had de- clared itself unable to carry out that trust except on conditions that would seriously incon- enience the public. That was a reason for relieving them the trust which they could not or would not discharge and putting it into other hnds. They had been told that the 8,020 shares would have given them a quarter of the voting power of the Company. What was the use of that? The whole case was that the control had been away from Singapore, instead of resting in Singapore. Possession of voting power would not remove the effective control from London. To give Singapore the control of the Docks, the control of the Co must be in

THE DIRECTORS' SCHEMES. It had been said that the directors were ready with their scheme of finance. The Council had not been furnished with any of the particulars which would make that argument of much value. No doubt there were many points that could be further considered in Committee, the question of payment for compulsary acquisition for instance. But he would remind the Counci that a good many of the expenses which generally went to meet were already included. in the clauses of the bill Why should the Goverment pay the full value of the shares. and recoup the shareholders for any incon venience caused by compulsory acquisition,

They had been told that the re- quired capital was *practically secured, They were told that the directors "could not hope to obtain the money" And later that they hoped to get it from customers. Those customers would look for a return either in en kanced dividends, that is enhanced charges, or a greater measure of control, meaning a closer ninopoly. The Stcretary of State had dealt with the overtures made for financial aid and 1:0,00 greater Government control. He came to the 30.03 conclusion that there was but ore course open - for the Government to step in and lake over the property. He was sure the public would agree that when a monopoly which had been controlled thousands of miles away and in the interests of shareholders, was succeeded by a trust belonging to the Colony, managed on the spot by its best business men on the ordinary princ ples of commercial administration, and that administration supported by public opinion and backed by public money-it needed no

C. B. FRY ON CRICKET.
INTS TO HONGKONG PLAYERS.
The Magarine of the Victoria Recreation Clab for March gives a very complete summary of sport in Hongkong during the past month. On this occasion the editor have had the unusual lack of getting an original article from Mr. C. B. Fry, the English crack ; it appears as the first article in the magazine under the title
A Chat on Cricket." It seems that a copy of the first number was sent to C. B who
of the property is assesed as fairly as it can be, and then we are to add 6iteen per cent. He could hardly find words to express his surprise at the idea. That the Government as trustees
for the public-for government has no money of its own, and if you pay money you must get it from the public, from the lux-payer and ship- per of Singapore-should have to pay that fifteen per cent extra was monstrous, and we could not look at it for a moment. At all events gave a fair price, but why add to that fair price 15 per cent?
WHOSE FAULT WAS (T.

He thought there was a difference in opinion between Mr. Shelford and Mr. Anderson as to who was responsible for the delay in carrying out the schemes of improvement. He himself had gone through the files as far ago as 899. when there was a special reserve for renewals which was absorbed when the nominal value of capital of the company was doubled, so that 51,500,000 became by a stroke of the pen $0.00. That was done by orders of the Landon Committee, he presumed. and was their answer to the recommendation of the Singapore directors that the wooden wharf should be changed into a permanent structure, le was rather surprised to hear from Mr. Shelford that this was to be a sort of naval con- tribution. That was the effort of a brilliant imagination, but it had never occurred to him and he could not conceive on what grounds it could be justified He would like to say that, as regards the delay in straightening the wharves, he could not admit t! at the Glövern- meal was responsible for that. The delay arose because the Singapore Board of Directors could not send in any communication to Government without first submitting it to London.
