As- a

The Chairman of the Municipal Countil:

ratepayer and without haying any stress on the point, I

would like to propose this resolution. For your information

I would remind you that if this resolution is carried it

will require a tax of .6214 per cent. on A house and .0689

per cent. on land, which put together amount to one-third

increased tax for this year. In subsequent years $8,000

will be required annually, representing a rate of .8285

on house tax and .0919 land tax.

Mr. Riggio seconded the adoption of the resolution.

At this stage H.B.M. Consul-General read out again

force by Chinese or Sikhs. It was a matter requiring care-

ployment of Sikhs, which were well-known to everybody. In

the first place it was a well-known fact that when it come

to the handling of Chinese they were not nearly so gentle

in their methods as they might be. Then again if Sikhs

were employed they would soon turn the place into a haunt

for unregistered money-lenders. Experience in other parts

of the Far East had shown that they were not a success.

Sikh police had been engaged in Hongkong and Shanghai and

this had led to trouble. If there had been trouble in

these ports there was far more likelihood of trouble here

where they had to deal with Chinese in such large

numbers. They had to remember that there would be

that there would considerable difficulty experienced in

enforcing the new traffic regulations and if tact was not

used there was just the possibility of trouble. They all

knew what had happened in Hankow where demonstrations were

held in the Native City owing to this sort of thing. And

here in Shemeen it would be far more difficult to deal

with 81khs than in Shanghai or Hongkong. If tact was not
