Proposed establishment of Government Opium Monopoly Bureau.

With reference to our report concerning the closing of Opium Shops at the various places in Nanking and the appointment of an inspector to make enquiry regarding the opium shops, so as to obtain a list of the Opium Shopkeepers and employees, which will be submitted and filed for reference, and the funds for carrying out the scheme had already been prepared by the Governor, it is now learned that the opinion of the Prefect Hoo Shae Nga is that since the funds derived from the Opium Tax hitherto directed for the maintenance of the Police, Judicial and other departments, as well as for carrying out the new administration in its various forms, these departments would, after the suppression of the Opium shops is put in operation, be in lack of funds which are quite necessary.

He therefore intends to establish a Government Opium Monopoly Bureau from which all the opium smoking shops after having been converted into prepared opium shops will be ordered to get their supply of opium for sale in the market. In this way not only the price of opium will be enormously increased, but the funds above mentioned will also not be exhausted. According to information, the regulations bearing on the present proposal have been submitted for perusal and approval.

Extract from "Sin Wan Pao",

Proposed establishment of Government Opium

Monopoly Bureau.

With reference to our report concerning

the closing of Opium Shops at the various places in Manking

and the appointment of an inspector to make enquiry regarding

the opium shops, so as to obtain a list of the Opium Shopkeep-

-ers and employees, which will be submitted and filed for

reference, and the funds for carrying out the scheme had

already been prepared by the Governor, it is now learned that

the opinion of the prefect Hoo Shae Nga is that since the

funds derived from the Opium Tax hitherto directed for the

maintenance of the Police, Judicial and other departments, as

well as for carrying out the new administration in its various

forms, these departments would, after the suppression of the

Opium shops is put in operation, be in lack of funds which are

quite necessary. He therefore intends to establish a Govern-

-ment Opium Monopoly Bureau from which all the opium smoking

shops after having been converted into prepared opium shops

will be ordered to get their supply of opium for sale in the

market. In this way not only the price of opium will be

enormously increased, but the funds above mentioned will also

not be exhausted. According to information, the regulations

-Hed bearing on the present proposal have been subriüleifend for
