To the Chairman
Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce Bir-We, the undersigned, agents, and presentatives of British Lises and owners of vessals visiting this port, beg to bring to your notice that we consider the scheme as set forth in the Colonial Secretary's Taler of the 11th March, addressed to the Chamber of Commerce, which has recently been published, distinctly prejudicial to the interests of shipping, which is the mainstay and livelihood of the whole Colony. So much has been said in past year by your Chamber on this particular point that "we think that it in hardly necessary for us to particularise once more the many arguments against the taxation of shipping.⠀

In view of the fact that the proposed refuge is to be erected to protect lighters and native cargo boats in case of a typhoon, it appears to us that there are many concerns closely allied to shipping on which we think some part the proposed work might fall. As an instacco, we consider that underwriters aro concerned as shipowners, inasmuch as it is of great value for them to know that craft will have a place of refuge in the event of a severe storm. We therefore consider that the copam to request you to be good, anough to tribution towards the expenses should be made thank His Excellency for the opportunity ac more general and that the onus should not corded to my Committee for commenting on fall too much on the shoulders of the shipping this subject. am &c,
