SUPPLY AND DEMAND,
The petition, after expressin, the further view that the with- drawal of the Ordinance would
not have the feared effect of a increase in rents, owing to the natural operation of the law of supply and demand, and referring to the "notorious part played in the past by the principal tenant, concludes with the observation that, in consideration of the mat ters above set forth, and in parti- cular that the conditions which were the principal causes for ennetment of the Ordinance have ceased to exist, it is desirable in the interests of the general cor munity that the Rents Ordinance should not be renewed."
There then follows a list of thirty-two signatures headed 57 that of Au Kon-shän, Vice Chai. man of the Landlords' Associe- tion.
TENANTS PETITION. Notwithstanding that the peti- tion from the tenants asking for the continuance of the Rents Or- dinance was prepared at a much carlier date than the petition from the Landlords' Association, it was sent to the Government only on Wednesday, thus following the petition from the landlords, which was received by the Government last Saturday. The delay is ox- plained by the time entailed to secure the signatures of many thousands of tenants.
Mr. Burrows arrived here three years ago and his talent as a versatile performer soon be teame apparent when he made his first appearance at one of the K.C.C.'s popular concerts. Since then he has appeared in many charity concerts and in 1925 ha formed the Imperial Concert Party, which first performed on the Commodore's tennis court in aid of the M.C.L. Over $900 was realised for this deserving charity and Mr. Burrows is now the proud possessor of the programmo which was autographed by H.R.H. Prince George, Sir A. Sinclair, Maj. Gen. Luard and Commodore Stirling.
Three weeks ago, he formed the New Imperial Concert Party, and after fourteen days' they put on a concert in aid of the M.C.L. and thus were able to dorinte 8400 to this cause.
He told the Magistrate at the Centrál Police Court to-day that. it was a long story he had to re- late. His Chinese nurse, Ah Sing, started the habit for him. When he was a baby in arms and was fretful, the family found that the nurse alone could quieten him. It was not until he was between the ages of five and six that his family discovered why the nurse could always quieten him while the personal efforts of his family had failed-she used to put opium into the milk, and they knew nothing of that." 7.
At the age of eight or nine Ah Sing taught him, the use of the opium pipe. He occasionally took puffs of the smoke through a handkerchief, but he was later able to abandon the habit.
