MORTGAGE ON WATERWORKS. Mr. WALKER: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemned, In proposing Resolution 9 I should like to remark that this mortgage is essential from the banking point of view. From the ratepayers point of view, we can either out a loan or issue debentures which are very px- pensive and laborious ways of raising money, and I think we ought to accept the Bankers stipulation and allow the mortgage to be executed. As your Ae countants point out, at the end of ten years our overdraft will disappear and if depreciation for buildings is not allow ed for in full we shall then have to con- sider a loan for rebuilding. In the meantime we might continue to enjoy the privileges extended to us in the past by the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.

Shameen.

Size, We hope you will exeise us for trespassing upon your leweney and kial- by asking your forgiveness for the part which we involuntarily took in the itrike last summer,

We much regret that our failure to restrain the men from leaving their posta have caused you great inconvenience, but as their families were being threatened, naturally they were too terrified to listen to any persuading. In passing we wish to mention that their first intention WILS to stay an duty and even went so far as to lay in a supply of provisions, but subsequently were unable to tolerate the re if they did so. Consequent to their threatened barm to their wives and child- deserting the Island and in face of the numerous threats received ourselves, we had no alternative but to take the same course.

We, however, would like to emphasize that although the foregoing circumstances have compelled us to become implicated, we actually took no active part during the dispute, neither are we to this day members of any labour union. Possibly Press reports lacking accuracy, may have i misled you to believe that we were play- ing a prominent role.

Mr, Hoco Secanded the instion. The CHAIRMAN: It is proposed by Mr. Walker and seconded by Mr. Hogg that the Ratepayers sanction the earcution of a mortgage over the Water Works Build- ings, erections and plant on Lot No. 7 in favour of the Hongkong and Shang tai Banking Corporation, as security against the averdraft I would like to

Mr. PEACOCE: I believe they talk Can- tonese, but they are all Hakka.
