THE TREE-VELLING OPERATIONS,

Hon. GELSROM Stewart sked the follow ing questions standing on the paper in the Ime of the Hon. R. SHEWAN, who was about owing to illness:—

a

How has the contract for felling trees and carrying away the woot buen let? Is it for lump sum or per picul! If by the pical, is the weight being supervised and checked, and if so, by whom? Why were not public tendars invited For it!

The COLONIAL SECEFTALY replied: (1) In two ways, in the first, payments are made in an indefinite number of small instalments as the trees aro gelcetect and marked for felling by the Forest Officers. About two-thirds of the estimated annual output are being sold in this way. In the second a total prearranged sam is paid for all the mature trees in ene black. About one-third of the estimated year's tellings luve been disposed of thus. (2) The timber is not sold by the picul but by superficial measure- ments. The measurements are made and supervised by Forest Officers and checked by the Superintendout of the Botanical and Afforestu- tion Department. (3) Tenders were publicly in. vited in Government Notification No. 60 (29th Jan. 1904), Government Gazete, 191'4, page 110. Two contracts were subsequently let without calling for tender, as the first contractor could

not handle the whole of the work.

BUOYS AND LIGHTS,

Hon. GEESHON STEWART, on behalf of the Hon. Robert Shewan, gave notice of the follow. ing questions:

With regard to Buoys and Lights, will the Government take into consideration the advis ability of having the present fairway marked at night by automatic light buoys? Are not the present two small white lights in the Capsal: mun Poes-inadequate? If they are, what step have the Government taken to replace them by

better F

secessible other sites, perhaps où a higher level yet. There is, Sir, ample room for this now enter- prise, and looking a little into futurity I venture to prophesy that it will sotho time be followed by a third tramway giving direct access to the Magazine Gap district, and a fourth starting from the Queen's Road West tapping Bonham Road, Upper Robinson Road and ronning up to the new road lately made to go round High West. I have faith in the development of the | Colony, and I do not hesitate to predict that the proposed now line will not only make for itself a large and romanorative trafle, but tlmt it will do so without injury to the existing line. With these romarks, Sir, I beg to propose the second reading of this bill.

Hon. GERSHOM STEWART-I have been asked to second the second reading of this Bill. and I do so with pleasure. I take the earliest

Opportunity of saying, as I have already stated to the lawyers who are acting for the promoters, that my support is given firstly and chiefly to the principle of the Bill. In matters of detail I have an open mind, azd I by no means assert that the 128 clauses in this lengthy Bill are all perfect and incapable of improvement, I reserve to myself the right of accepting and if need be of advocating any alteration which may appoor after due consideration to improve the menauro. I hove no intorest in either the old

tram or the new, except as one of the travelling public. I advocate the construction of the new line because I look upon any increase of wechou. ical transport as a public boon. Two of the greatest difficulties we have to contend with in this colony are the climato and the question of transport.

Road, and their request is under consideration. I would also point out to him that though the old company's rights are peculiarly affected they have not petitioned to be heard by this Council in connection with the new Bill.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL:-I beg tá mora, in view of the voluminous nature of this Bill, and in view of the many legal technical points which will arise for consideration when the clauses are gone through, that the Bill be. referred to the Law Committee.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY Secouded.. The motion was agreed to.

THE IMBECILE PERSONS BILL Hon. ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the third reading of the Bill entitled An Ordinance to aniond the Imbecile Persons Introduction Ordinance, 1903,

The COLONIAL SECRETARY-IN seconding the motion for the third reading of this Bill, I would like, Sir, to reming the Council that on the third reading being proposed at the last meeting of this Council the hon. member for the Chamber of Commerce dissented and you, Sir, thereupon postponed the third reading of the Bill. The ground upon which the hon, member dissouted was that Chinese imbeciles were excluded from the operation of the Bill, and you, Sir, explained at the time that this was done to meet the views of the Chamber of Commerce,

Sinise that meeting, by your Excolloney's direc- tiou, I addressed a letter to the Chamber of Commerce in which I reminded them of this representation received from their former

The Bill was passed.

THE CHURCH BILL.. Hon, ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the entitled Af third reading of the Bil Ordinance to enable "The Trustees of Saint John's Cathedral Church in Hongkong" to hold and deal with proporty for the parpose of pro- moting the work of the Church of England in Hongkong and China.

The mountainous nature of the Island makes assistance to locomotion very desirable at any time. The climate for nine months of the year makes it for nearly all of us an imperative necessity, We are too much dependent upon our chair coolies, and tho knowing their value, make what they can out of our necessities; they are perfectly right in doing so, for theirs is a most arduous calling; but at the same time we should be entirelyey state that Mr. Pollock had acted on their foolish if we did not endeavour by every instructions in endeavouring to obtain the ex- clusion of Chinese imbeciles from the Bill, means in our power to do what we can to

and that the Chamber still adhered to that take their yoke off our neck. It is com-

view of the matter, monly supposed that the yoke is always on the nack of the coulie. but an ordinary householder who has many coolies to provide funds that he also has a heavy burden to bear. The whole of the residents of aine Road, Robinson Road, Conduit Road and Quenz's Gardens will be benefited by this tram, and if a family can save $20 or $30 a month it will be a very acceptable saving. It would go far towards helping a man te oducate ono of his children. In advocating the new line I by no means for get the debt we all owe to the old Company This Company has done its work right well, und after surviving great difficulties during the early years of its existence has now emerged into an atmosphere of prosperity. It has curried us all with safety, regularity, and civility for many years, and we all owe a grout deal to the old Company. It would be no ultimate good to the general public if the now Company by being permitted to come to the Queen's Road and plant its terminus at the door of the old Company at the Peak were to obtain such an advantage as to enable it to wreck the old company. In a few years we would be worse off than ever. for the tendency of the traffic is to increase all the time. I fully believe that the Government would be doing what the community will cordially endorse if they meet in a sympathetic spirit any application they may receive from the old Company for privileges to ment ou fair grounds the now competition.
