We are also informed that the Federation of British Industries, and the English Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association have succeeded in arranging for the training of a first group of a few students.\n\nSchemes for British Education of Chinese,\n\nThe following is a résumé of the schemes so far suggested for strengthening Great Britain's share in the education of Chinese :-\n\n1. 1912. Sir Evan Spicer's proposal to found and maintain a Chinese university in Central China with 400,000l. out of the Boxer Indemnity Fund. This was rejected by the Treasury.\n\n2. 1918. Mr. Wilton's scheme, which falls under five general heads-\n\n(a.) Financial strengthening of certain British institutions already in existence in China (Tien-tsin, Tsinan, Hankow, Foochow and Shanghai).\n\n(b.) Financial assistance to Hong Kong University.\n\n(c) Establishment of a school at Canton, to act as feeder to Hong Kong University.\n\n(d) Financial assistance to Chinese technical institutions already in existence, and encouragement by means of advice and financial assistance in the foundation of others in industrial centres.\n\n(e.) Financial assistance to the technical department of the Peking University.\n\nFinancial assistance should take the form of a number of entrance and leaving scholarships. A large majority of the latter should be for technical training, especially in the various branches of engineering, and be tenable for three or four years in the British and Colonial universities, Hong Kong University, and the Peking University.\n\nMr. Wilton is not in favour of purely British educational institutions in China; and he recommends financial assistance to purely Chinese establishments, such as the some method of co-operation with Peking University. He further recommends Chinese Chambers of Commerce, industrial companies and the guilds concerned, to be arranged by British Chambers of Commerce for the establishment and maintenance of technical schools.\" \n\nAs an endowment fund for this scheme, which he admits is an expensive one, Mr. Wilton recommends the remission of the whole of the Boxer indemnity. He recommends also the appointment of a small commission to examine thoroughly (for at least a year) the whole question of financial control, as well as the details of an educational scheme.\n\n3. 1919. Liang Chi-Chao's proposal that Great Britain should return the outstanding amount of her share of the Boxer indemnity on condition that two modern universities should be founded in the country-one at Peking and one, perhaps, at Nanking under Sino-British joint management.\n\n4. 1919. The Tien-tsin British Chamber of Commerce's proposal that a levy on the paid-up capital of China companies would be a fair and reasonable method of raising funds for educational purposes. They quote the instance of a fee of 0.04 dollars for each 100 dollars of paid-up capital, which is levied annually by the Hong Kong Government. If a similar rate were levied through the registrar of companies at Shanghai, they estimate that a yearly revenue of 100,000 dollars (10,000l.) could be raised. The Tien-tsin Chamber agrees with Sir John Jordan, that the financing of a scheme for British educational propaganda in China is one primarily for the merchants themselves.\n\n5. 1920. The Department of Overseas Trade's proposal that any scheme put forward should provide for the arrival of fifty Chinese students per annum for a training course of about five years in Great Britain. Such students should be trained for one of the following vocations: civil engineering, mechanical engineering, mining engineering, electrical engineering, industrial chemistry, law, chartered accountancy.\n\n6. The China Association's scheme (prepared by Mr. H. B. Morse), which assumes that part of our share of the Boxer indemnity will be remitted, in the same way as the American share, and that the remission will amount to 80,000l. a year.\n\n* According to Mr. Bucchell Shen, Director of La Mission scolaire chinoise en Europe (\"Daily Mail of the 5th December, 1920), fifty of these are Chinese Government scholarship holders. They receive a grant of 240l. a year. Medicine and engineering are the subjects generally taken\n\n27\n\nThis sum should be paid to a Chinese commission one member of the commission should be a British subject, nominated by His Majesty's Legation, but in an advisory capacity only. The expenses of this commission should be borne by the Chinese Government in each year, one-eighth of the remitted indemnity, viz., 10,000l. should be allotted to each of four universities for students taking their studies in the English language. These universities should be (a) Tien-tsin, for Northern Mandarin; (b) Hankow, for Southern Mandarin; (c) Shanghai, for Central Coast dialects; (d) Hong Kong, for Cantonese. Provision should be made for joint Sino-British representation on the boards of control of these universities. 40,000l. a year should be allotted for fellowships for graduates of these universities proceeding to the United Kingdom for further study in universities there. While in the United Kingdom these students should be under the control of a joint Sino-British Advisory Council, expenses of which should be borne by the British Government.\n\n7. Federation of British Industries' and English Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' schemes (already being put into practice), which arrange for the training of a first group of a few Chinese students in Great Britain.\n\n8. The British Engineering Standards Association's proposal that His Majesty's Government should provide funds to render education for Chinese free at Anglo-Chinese colleges such as that in Tien-tsin; and to encourage graduates of such colleges to proceed to England for training in the chief steel works, and in branches of the mining industry. in civil engineering, and the administration and accounting of engineering undertakings.\n\nLAST of Prominent Educational Institutions in China.\n\nNames of Schools.\n\nNumber of Students.\n\nLocation.\n\nNationality.\n\nYale College of Medicine\n\nBoone University\n\nUniversity of Nanking\n\nAutora University\n\nSt. John's University\n\nSoochow University\n\nHong Kong University\n\nShantung Christian University\n\nNorth-West China University\n\nWest China Union University\n\nCanton Christian College\n\nGovernment University\n\nPeking University\n\nPeiyang Government University\n\nHunan University (Government)\n\nYale College in China,\n\n21\n\n53\n\n353\n\nWnchang, Hupel\n\n488\n\nNanking, Kiangst\n\n180\n\nShanghai, Kiangsu\n\n492\n\n416\n\nSouchow, Kiangsu\n\n220\n\nHong Kong\n\n103\n\nTsinan, Shautung\n\n-\n\n355\n\nSianfu, Shensi\n\nChengtu, Szechuan\n\nColleges and High Schools.\n\n525\n\nCanton, Kwangtung\n\nChristian College\n\n60\n\nHangchow, Cheklang\n\n145\n\nNingpo, Chekiang\n\n60\n\n17\n\nUnited Methodist College\n\n120\n\nWenchow, Chekiang\n\nCustoms College\n\n114\n\nPeking, Chilli\n\nChinese.\n\nNormal College\n\n409\n\nNorth China Union Theological College\n\n17\n\n2\n\nWomen's College\n\n38\n\n21\n\n51\n\nTsing Hua College\n\n624\n\nTien-tsin, Chilli.\n\n997\n\n87\n\nTungchow, Chibli\n\nAmerican.\n\n190\n\nKulangsu, Amoy, Fukien\n\nBritish.\n\n60\n\nAmerican.\n\n11\n\n11\n\n11\n\nCanton Christian College\n\n-\n\nEnglish Methodist College\n\nTrinity College\n\nAnglo-Chinese College\n\nNankai School\n\nNorth China Union College of Arts\n\nAnglo-Chinese College\n\nAmoy Girls' High and Normal School\n\nTalmage College\n\n87\n\nAmerican and British.\n\nAmerican.\n\nChinese and American.\n\nBritish.\n\nChinese.\n\n* Similarly Sir Charles Eliot (see paper 158944 of the 5th December, 1919), insists that the Indemnity Fund, if remitted, should be given to the Chinese Government under conditions which would ensure its being used to send Chinese students to British institutions or to found schools of which we approve.\n\nIf the money were distributed directly to British educational establishments by the British Government there would be two inconveniences (1) the Chinese Government would be Annoyed and feel no gratitude, (2) a special department would be needed to deal with the demands of all the rival educational and missionary claimants.”\n\n341", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-478 - Public Offices & Others - 1922.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 494115, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-478 - Public Offices & Others - 1922", "page_number": 507, "title": "CO129-478 - Public Offices & Others - 1922", "content_text": "14.

I do not think the Company could obtain leave to alter its Memorandum of Association to enable it to undertake a totally new and distinct business from that for which it was incorporated. The objects stated in its Memorandum were the carrying on of the trade or business of sugar cleaning and refining, the purchase and sale of sugar and sugar producing articles, the making and dealing in lump and other kinds of sugar, and manufacturers of and dealers in sugar. The objects of the Company therefore are extremely limited and in none of the reported cases have I been able to find a case in which a Company formed for an exclusive purpose such as this one, is allowed to amend its Memorandum to enable it to take up a totally different business.\n\nThe other suggestion of counsel was that the Company might reconstruct, but I do not think a reconstruction is what counsel meant, but they must have meant the incorporation of a new company and the transfer to it of the existing Company's property and rights, but I am of opinion that if they sought to get over the difficulty in this way the Government would be", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-514-6 Question of legality of sale of water to Tai Koo Sugar Refining Co.

I should recommend that if proceedings are to be instituted they should be commenced in Hong Kong on the Fiat of the Attorney-General for that Colony, as the proceedings there will be more expeditious and probably a great deal cheaper than if proceedings are taken here which would involve obtaining all necessary evidence from Hong Kong. It is important to determine the Licence under which the Company were authorised to construct and lay a 6\" pipe to bring the water down to their refinery. Of course whether any proceedings are taken or not depends on the importance of being able to do so.\n\nBelieve me, \nYours sincerely, \n**Charles J. D.

Richard Owen Roberts and Edward Elvey Robb. A life interest in the estate was taken by the son of the deceased, E. R. Belilios, who died in Hong Kong in October 1922. In accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of the Estate Duty Ordinance (No. 3 of 1932), the beneficial interest in the estate ceased on the death of E. R. Belilios and passed under the provisions of the Ordinance, thus entailing obligations as to the delivery of an account to the Estate Duty Commissioner, Hong Kong, and payment of estate duty in Hong Kong.\n\nNo such account was received nor payment of estate duty made; and in accordance with Section 10, Subsection 12 of the Ordinance, a Notice was duly served, through Messrs. Burchells, on Mrs. Bellairs and Mr. Robb, Mr. Roberts having died in 1929, calling upon them to disclose the estate and to remit the duty payable thereon. Mrs. Bellairs and Mr. Robb refused to sign the affidavits, but admitted that they were the persons named. Apparently no account was rendered nor payment made within the time specified in Section 10, Subsection 12 of the Ordinance, and writs of subpoena claiming payment of the estate duty due were, again through Messrs. Burchells, served on the surviving Trustees, in pursuance of the procedure laid down in Section 10, Subsection 14 of the Ordinance.\n\nThis service has apparently led to no result and an Order has been obtained from the Supreme Court of Hong Kong for the sale of certain properties for the recovery of the estate duty due.\n\nThe properties in question are valued by the Public Works Department at a total value of $43,250; but under present market conditions it is not expected that they will realise anything like these figures. It is accordingly proposed that the Government should bid for these properties, up to their value as estimated, since the properties are good in themselves, and furthermore would be useful in connection with the rebuilding of the Peak School. The transaction is tantamount to:-\n\n(a) writing-off the estate duty claimable from\n\n(b) acquiring at a moderate figure land free which is quite valuable in itself and which may also be useful in connection with Government building.\n\nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-551-1 Estate of Raphael Emanuel Belilios- payment of estate duties 29-11-1934 - 29-11-1935.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 546579, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-551-1 Estate of Raphael Emanuel Belilios- payment of estate duties 29-11-1934 - 29-11-1935", "page_number": 13, "title": "CO129-551-1 Estate of Raphael Emanuel Belilios- payment of estate duties 29-11-1934 - 29-11-1935", "content_text": "Wo\n\nC.

He gave his Trustees a power of appropriation by Clause 13 of his Will which reads as follows :-\n\n\"13. I declare that my Trustees shall be at liberty if they so think fit to appropriate and set apart out of my residuary estate investments representing such a capital fund as shall at the time of appropriation be sufficient to produce the annual sums directed to be paid by Clause 5 of this my Will with such a liberal margin for contingencies as in the opinion of my Trustees shall be sufficient And I declare that when such appropriation has been made the said annual sums shall be wholly charged on the investments so appropriated in exoneration\n\nThe Controller, Estate Duty Office.\n\n1.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-557-12 Armstrong and Turner v.
