FIGHT

FOR FORTUNE

Haarlam, The Netherlands, Mar. 1. Everyone named Taylor, Teyler or Tailor may join one of the many "associations of heirs" in various lands who lay claim to the fortune left by Pieter Teyler van der Hylst, a fabulous rich silk merchant who died here in 1778.

Its value in present-day terms is estimated at 650,000,000 guilders (about HK$1,040,000,000). There are about 600 to 700 claimants in Holland alone, organised in a national federation of local associations, and many others abroad, notably in Britain and Germany,

It appears to officials with whom I discussed this problem

and large scale, cannot be abolished until at least three things are done:

1. The wages of civil servants must be improved. They get between 3,000 and 0,000 ·riāls (HK$240 HK$480) a month. Living costs have risen eight times since 1941 and this salary is Inadequate to live on decent- ly and maintain a family. Many of them have one or two other jobs which double their income.
