It is not, in my opinion, possible for Hongkong

to measure in the same way as is done in Swatow and Amoy.

In both these ports, I am informed that the flod

spaces of saloons (where lat and, in some cases, and class paa-

aengers are carried) are measured for deck passengera,

I submit contrary to the spirit of all Passenger Acts (whether

Emigrant or ordinary passenger). In the case of the "Hai mun

a partial shade deck of light construction, intended as A shade

for weather deskkpassengers, and as airing space for saloon pass

sengers and officera - has evidently been included in the med-

Burements, hence the disparity between the numbers of passengers

allowed by Amoy and Hongkong Inigration Certificates of Admea-

Burement.

I forwarded some years ago at the request of the

survey or to H, M. Consul in Amoy, a book of measurements of a

Tessel, showing in detail how the number of passengers was

arrived at, and have heard no comment thereon.

The only way to bring the Coast Ports and Hongkong

into line would be to add a nec ti on, or amend the present sec-

tions of Asiatic Emigrati on Ordinance involved, giving full de-

tails of how the measurements etc. of spaces for passengers

were to be calculated.

I can submit a draft of what I consider necessary,

for alterations or additions and when finally approved here, it

could be submitted to the Board of Trade for approval, or

Amendment, if the Government consider the latter step necessary.
