From the fact that most of the above varieties of undertakings are revenue producing or property preserving in nature, a fourth principle of action has been adopted by the Commission. This is that except in emergencies, appropria tions for famine relief work will be con sidered in the nature of a loan to the persons or localities to be benefited, and as such must be paid buck with interest out of the revenue derived from the utility created, or out of taxation upon the persona or property protected by the work performed.

COPPER COINJA
Apparently there is a scheme in oper- ration to corner copper coin in the Colony, and it is meeting with success. The normal exchange value of the copper currency is round about 98 cents to the 81, but exchange has now risen to 88 cents. This appreciation seriously re- duces the purchasing power of the poorer classes of the community. For example, where i coolie formerly received two erata change out of a five-cent piece when buying a packet of cigarettes coating cents, he nor gits back only 15 or 15 or three cents' worth of vegetables or cash. A similar thing happens when two other commodities is purchased. The opinion provails that the situation will grow worse unless the Government can come to the rescue by issuing more copper" coin.
