Canton, December 31, 1913.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt on the 30th. instant of your despatch complaining of action taken by lagistrates on the North River in the matter of issuing permits to quarry limestone.
In reply thereto I have the honour to state that, in conjunc- -tion with the Civil Administrator, I have already sanctioned licences for the supply of limestone to the Green Island Cement Co., and that I telegraphed to the Magistrates at Yingte and Samshui instructing them to furnish the documents necessary to enable quarrying to be started.
I received from the Yingte Magistrate a telegraphic reply reporting that Teng Suan-ch'ang and others of the Hsieh Ho Company had permission to work the Leo Ti Wan quarry, Yuan Tee-lin and others to work the Wu Shih-sban quɛrry and Feng Ch'un-yuan and others to work the Leo Ti Wan quarry. Also that documents necessary to proceed with the drawing up of leases and the extracting of stone had been issued by the Magistracy.
The District Magistrate at Sanshui telegraphed that a Hsuan- -wu and others had formed a large combination to work quarries, and that, as instructed, documents to proceed with the extraction of stone had been issued.
There has been no imposition of cheres nor obstruction. The statements therefore of the merchants as quoted by you are based on erroneous information, or their allegations that per- -mission to # quarry had been refused are not founded on fact.
and
I would accordingly feel obliged if you would convey the above facts to those concerned.
