...MR. STEWART'S FURTHER ARGUMENTE,{" We have received the following latter from. Hon. Mr. Murray Stewart for publication :—--
"Hongkong, 27th April, 1910. Sit-In the hurried reply made yesterday to
your later received the day before, I made no reference to the postscript added by direction of His Excellency. I trust that this may not have seamed discourteous. I have the same apps in polating out that the siganturies of the popole as are united in, the only opinion expressed in it, aemely, that the site in question should be devoted to pubile purposes.
It was originally set apart as an open space with the express idea of allowing the, Law. Courts to be seen from the seafrent. The wards and by the Honourable the Director of Public Works on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stupe, when be acted the part of Government spokesman, make this clean, Standing where the new Counts now sland and referring precisely to the site which it is now proposed to sell he said: The area to the north of this will therefore remenin smbuilt upon and an almost urivalled 'so for the Courts, having ragava to the open spaces which will ad- Join them on three sides, will thus be created," In the recent debate in Council I said I was' under the impression that there had once been in authoritative statement to that effect, and my memory baskad back to the ceremony al which that speech was meda. Unfortunately 1 had not had time to search for a report of the proceedings. Now that I have refreshed my memory I cannot understand His Excellency saying that the proposed sale would not later fere with the hope expressed by Sir Henry Blake. The hope expressed by Sir Henry lake on that occasion was precisely that this particular site would not be built upon,
because the arrangement to reserve an area 'He could not have referred to any other land, corresponding to the Hongkong Bank's garden had already been made, and there was no ques tion then of building either to the west of the Low Courts, or on the cricket ground. Such
questions only arise now, out of the present pro-

"THE" SITE
To fux Editor or the "Ilonoxone Telegraph,“ Dear Sir---Although seluctant to add to the mass of correspondence (I had nearly written twaddle) already published, I feel it is my duty to disassociate myself from the motives of sentimental half-reasons or unexpressed pre- judices" which in your last night's issue you take it upon yourself to associate with the signato ties to the protest against the sale addressed to His Excellency the Governor,"
His Excellancy has divided the protestants into two"classos, viz :—
A.-Those who desire a, grass plot or Band-
: stand, &c. B-And those who desire a building of granite on a design similar to the Courts ↑ (Heaven gave us from any mors abortions
of that description 1); '
and i feel I must also disassociate myself from both arco if in doing so I stand alone,
My objections to the sale are 1. That I do not believe the finances of the Colony are in the precarious condition depicted by His Excellency in his speech at the Legislative Council; and, a. That the sule will depreciate the Govern
ment property so frequently alluded to, to wit, that classical building the Chiel
Court
In support of No. 1, I, need only say that if the sources of the Colony are as slender-as indicated by His Excellency the matter should Lo app.oached from an entirely different stand. point and more drastic reforms that the mere sain of a valuable sito—the only one in the Colony be it noted)-applied.
in regard to No. 1 it is obvious that the sale of the seafront will depreciate the Chief Court site which will show become an inland lot for all time; thus reducing the question to the sordid one of our vanishing dollar via a við ol the "Almighty" specimen.

The estimated cost of the building for the Hongkong University appears to have exceeded that which Sir Hormujee N. Mody undertook to pay when the final undertaking was given by Hongkong's fairy god-father" whereby the University achame was practically assured. The last official estimatesplaced the cost at $285,000, but the contract which, we hear, has now been signed, is for a sum of not less than $305,000, of $20,000 more than the amount announced just a little over a month ago.
