November 19, 1913.

The Jivil Governor has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of H. M. Consul's letter of the 17th. "ovember which has bad his care- -ful attention.

The imposition by the Semi Laistrate of a local self- -government levy on the quarrying of limestone is a matter concerning local autonomy and has nothing to do with the cavil Governor's office. That the contractors in question should make a return for the enjoyment of quarrying rights in the shape of a contribution for the public benefit of the locality is a duty expected of Chinese citizens. Such matters are of an entirely domestic neuure and the Civil Governor would therefore request H. L. Consul not to intervene. As to the foreign firm interestod all their concern is to contract for the pur- -chase of the stone wit the merchants who quarry it: no interference on the firm's part can be allowed.
