WUHU

is strenuously opposed, however, by influential proprietors of timber-yards occupying a large section of foreshore on the proposed bund line, and it cannot be carried into effect until these yards are removed to another locality. Similar opposition delayed for many years the cession of the Foreign Settlement area. The local officials, under instructions from the Government, are looking for the best way to meet the difficulty. The solution of the same problem, in so far as it concerned the Foreign Settlement, gives good grounds for expecting a favourable issue in the present instance also. The Electric Light Co. appears to be doing well, for electric lighting has superseded that of oil to a great extent. The population of Wuhu is estimated at 100,000.
