THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 13TH FEBRUARY,
HONGKONG, 15th January, 1864.
The Representatives of the
CANTON FOREIGN COMMUNITY OF 1856.
Gentlemen, The amount of Interest accruing upon the Indemnity paid by the Chinese Govern- ment for the destruction of the property belonging to the late Canton Fire Brigade is Nine hundred and Ninety-five Dollars and Ninety-eight cents. As those amongst your number who continue to reside at Canton are known to feel much dis- satisfaction that no portion of the principal sum was voted to the re-establishment of a Fire Brigade for the protection of the Settlement at Shameen, I beg to propose that the amount above mentioned be left in the hands of H. M. Consul for that purpose, to which I believe it to be fully adequate. Should no objections to this course be intimated to me on or before the 15th February next, I shall consider myself exonerated from responsi- bility in regard to the sum in question.-I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant,
C. W. MURRAY, Treasurer to the late Canton Fire Brigade.
