A syndicate consist ing of wealthy merchants and officials has been formed to dredge the locality at Meichi and traveport the mad and sand to Tai Chen Ban, which is situated at the western part of the Jurboat. The hail anused plies has also been acquired by the spudicato and they are going to fill in the immense foreshore which they have roonined with the Chinese authorities' consent.
