NO SAYS CAPT. KIMM
YES SAYS THE CROWD
Should members of the Hongkong F.A. Council, in the coarse of their customary lengthy meeting, enjoy the privilege of having a drink on the Association?
Capt. P. Kimm yesterday thought not but the rest of the members refused to see eye to eye with hlin.
The question arose out of the monthly accounts which included an item of $10 for entertainment. This, it was explained, was the cost of a round of drinks, which a Council meeting had enjoyed at a previous meeting.
Captain Kimm rose to propose that such an item be excluded from the accounts in futuro months, arguing that on principle it was not a sound thing for the Association to indulge in such an expense.
But his proposition was received in stony silence, the accounts passed, future and presumably with the holding out hope of a cumshow "quick one" on the F.A.
