It has been known for some time that a
“Syndicate." in Shanghai had been formed for the purpose of acquiring the two valuable sites. When the question was discussed to long since in the Model Settlement the China Guzefle stated that the price to be paid for the Lock's property, if the scheme is ever carried out, would amount to about Tis. 1,500,000, and that the development of the acquired land, ie, bunding, wharves, go- downs, &c., would absorb another Ts." 1,500,000. The capital of the new company would therefore be at least three million taels. To raise the required capital the scheme forthier provides that the present shareholders in the Dock Co. would have the option of obtaining a share in the new company, in lieu of recurring a re- turn in cash upon the sale of the Olu Dock and the Podtung, property, and that the balance of the capital required.
