As- a
The Chairman of the Municipal Countil:
ratepayer and without haying any stress on the point, I
would like to propose this resolution. For your information
I would remind you that if this resolution is carried it
will require a tax of .6214 per cent. on A house and .0689
per cent. on land, which put together amount to one-third
increased tax for this year. In subsequent years $8,000
will be required annually, representing a rate of .8285
on house tax and .0919 land tax.
Mr. Riggio seconded the adoption of the resolution.
At this stage H.B.M. Consul-General read out again

ployment of Sikhs, which were well-known to everybody. In
the first place it was a well-known fact that when it come
to the handling of Chinese they were not nearly so gentle
in their methods as they might be. Then again if Sikhs
were employed they would soon turn the place into a haunt
for unregistered money-lenders. Experience in other parts
of the Far East had shown that they were not a success.
Sikh police had been engaged in Hongkong and Shanghai and
this had led to trouble. If there had been trouble in
these ports there was far more likelihood of trouble here
where they had to deal with Chinese in such large
numbers. They had to remember that there would be
that there would considerable difficulty experienced in
enforcing the new traffic regulations and if tact was not
used there was just the possibility of trouble. They all
knew what had happened in Hankow where demonstrations were
held in the Native City owing to this sort of thing. And
here in Shemeen it would be far more difficult to deal
with 81khs than in Shanghai or Hongkong. If tact was not
