Precis of Extract from Chung Kuo Jih Pao, January 16, 1913.
In some places abroad the bonds may not be sold, as they infringe the laws against gambling. Consequently, small reproduc- -tions are being printed, bearing only the number and price; the
regulations of the lottery are omitted, and the interest coupons
are not attached. This is being done in order to enable the bonds
to be sent abroad for sale, and it is hoped that a considerable
sum, to be devoted to city improvements, may be raised in a short
space of time.
