within 12 months of the

con-

pletion of their respective sections, stated unter alia that the fall

in the rents of houses was

purely temporary

and would

rectify itself. But ever,

as it is, rents in for

rents in Hongkong

many cases extremely

high. The Colonial Secretary

informe

It c

that he pays for

a rented house (dining-

sitting room and four

bedrooms)

more than

four

t times what he paid for a very

commodious

house in Colombo,

and the rent demanded

for

this

year for my

very

residence at the Peak

is insufficient and unsuitable.

The rent of this

house is $2400.

The statement that

"the annual valuations have

hardly yet been altered " is perfectly true for the very suf-

ficient reason that the value of house property has not

generally depreciated as the Me-

morialists wish it to be believed.
