[To The Editor of Hongkong Telegraph.1
Bir-With reference to the letter

BY FUMES..
A tragic incident involving tho death of three labourera occurred a Chinese brick kiln at Sheung Shui, New Territories, on Tuesday. According to the information available it appears that one of the labourera went down a tunnel to pick up some implements which he had dropped. The tunnel happened to be full of smoke and fumes at
Ulio moment and Buffocaled.
one can come to in that the Muni- cipality desires to control the you ing power so that their nomineo can be returned, though nominally such a person is supposed to be the spokesman of the shareholders. The authorities have already an nounced that the assessment com mission will consist of four Govern ment officials and only one share. holder, and it seems then that despite this overwhelming majority. they desire to make the suppres
the man wwssion of adverse opinion a complete one by having their man act na the nominal mouthpiece of the share holders. As Mr. Wong anys, it cortainly is a farco.
Two other labourers who went down one after the other to the rescue suffered the same fate,
It was not until some time after that other labourers in the place discovered what had happened and an alarm was raised. The three bodles were then removed.
The Incident was reported to the Police, and the dead bodies were removed to the mortuary. Two of the deceased were 36, and the other was 23 years old.

It would not he amiss to invite the municipal authorities to devote a little attention to ordinary com- mercial Inw and practise as well an the registered regulations of the Waterworks Company. The rules of the Company require that there must be more than fifty per cent of shareholders votre prosent to form a quorum, so that even if the Government succeeds in engineer- ing the shareholders meeting, as it meeting and its regulations will be illegal and valueless according to the Com. pany's rules. In the light of its action in scizing the Company there is little doubt but that the authorities will conveniently shut their eyes to the illegality of such proceedings.
Even if the publio succeeds in getting the Company's property valued on an impartial basis, the Poor shareholders will still be wallowing in difficulties. One usually laughs at the prophecies of pro- phots and seers, but I venture to predict and I think there is still risk of my opinion proving in- correct--that assuming a fair valu ation is made, the shareholders will get no value for their shares.

formed that the chances are that they will be given bonds in exchange for their shares. Now the city of Canton as well as the whole pro- vines of Kwanglung is simply flood- od with various sorts of bonds mas querading under fancy names, and it will be an easy matter to issue a now set to give to the shareholders. Bach bonds will, of course, be worth no more than the paper they are printed on. Since the Republic was established many millions of dollars of bonds have been issued, and but A very small proportion of these have been redeemed by the Govern- ment, consequently the public is in- clined to look askanoo at those
things.
