DE. TROMSON AND THE CHINESE COLLEGE

The COLONIAL SECRETARY-Sir, some time ago a question was)aised in the Finance Committee regarding the datins performed by Dr. Thomson on behalf of the Chinese College of Medicine. I have row, by His Excellency's commands; to lay on the table a letter from the Lean of the College relative to the matter, and to say that the duties performed by Dr. Thomson for the College have in no way inter- fered with his public duties, and that, in the in terests of the College, it is extremely desirablo that Dr. Thomson's connection with the instits tion should not be severed.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL added that only give these certificates. such as were sathorised would be entitled to

The HAUBOUR MASTER asked if a member of the Institute of Architects would not have the right to practise here notwithstanding that he had not been passed by the Board.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied that he would be entitled to piuotiso, but would have to get someone else to grant the certificates.

The HABOUR MASTER put the proposition that the Board of Examines were to refuse him.. H.D. the GOVERNOR said that it was not likely they would refuse a qualified man,

The section was approved. The Council adjourned till Toesday next at neon.

For general softness and beauty of illumination the Nerast is unequalled. The Necast light is steadily coming into favour as an illuminant and it is not too much to predict that it is the Light of the fatura.
