TIENTSIN TRAMWAYS Chinese Find Flaws in the Management

Canton, Yesterday. Concerning the recovery of the Electric and Tramway Concessions, which, according to agreement, are under foreign control, the Foreign Affairs Department in Tientsin ham submitted to the Municipal Govern- ment the following points for negotia- tion:--

1. That the laying of double rails on streets where the traffic la con-

gested, is inconsistent with the

agreement.

2. That the present electric and tramway operations have already gone beyond the scope of the agreement, which limits the pri- vileges within a radius of six 11, using Koolow as the centre.

8. That the supply of electricity to the different factories without the permission of the local authorities

is an infringement of the terms agreed upon, Canton News Agency,
