All for the work done on the railway, and 50,000 franes (£2,000) extra for the Yellow River Bridge. Mr Kinder lenres with a Toward of £1,500-less than nothing" As our contemporary points out, "No foreign employee of the Chinese Government over lefs China with a higher reputation for ability, cuergy and unswerving integrity than Mr Kinder.
