It is understood that Mir Josting took-off from the Ab King Silpway at North Point in a hired vessel.. with a Chinese Krow.

According to the Police there is no cause for alarm at the present moment a Mr Joeling might be in Macao or on his trip back.

"On several previous occasions I made re- ference to the fact that our Company is handi- capped unfairly by the restrictions of the Landlord and Tenants (Rent Restriction) Ordinance which applies to most of our properties," said Mr D. E. Clark, Chairman of Humphreys Estate and HK Hotels Meeting Finance Company, Limited, at the Annual General Meeting this morning.

Mr Clarke went on to explain that the pre-war rentals bear no relationship to the increase in the cost of living, services or commodity prices.

He added that "it is hoped that certain amendments to this Ordinance may shortly be enacted to rectify anomalies appearing under the stipulations of these particular regulations."
