The financial situation in the Colony still continues to occupy, the keen attention of the public. A proposal made at a Législative Council meeting that rikisha and chair fares be increased, on the grounds of higher cost of living, was not adopted, however, it being pointed out by the Colonial Secretary that licence fees for these vehicles had only re- cently been reduced. Members of the Finance Committee, who met after the Council Meeting, criticised the alleged inactivity of the Government in its work of pushing on the construction of the new Central British School. A concise report, is included in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
His Excellency the Governor was the guest of honour at an inaugural dinner aboard the s.s. Empress of Japan, the new liner of the Canadian Pacific Company. In a happy. speech, which is reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, he wished the company every success in their new venture. Guests were afterward shown over the ship, which later was thrown open for inspection (o the general public.
Serious news arrived earlier in the week from Changsha, which it was stated had been captured by "Reds." A later, and more reassuring report, stated that Nanking troops had recaptured the city. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL carries complete reports of the incident, which at one time assumed·· a very grave aspect.
A Supplemental-Vote of $300,000 will come up for con- sideration before the Finance Committee at its next meeting. Provision is also made for an extra vote for Kowloon Water Account, in connection with meters.
