THE DOCK COMPANY.

Many persons interested in the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, Limited, and especially those who have followed the recent events connected with the proposal to build a new dock, will not be surprised to learn that a report has gained currency to the effect that the Directors recently invited tenders for the lengthening of the Admiralty Dock at Kowloon, From what we have been able to gather in the course of inquiries, Messrs. WINE AND SPIRIT MERCHANTS. Punchard, Lowther and Company, who are at present engaged upon the Naval Yard Extension Scheme, submitted tender Amounting to $275,000, while a careful estimate, based upon figures obtained some two years ago in lengthening the dock by 50 feet, places the

The his approval of the erection of his statue simi- sicamer referred to, as is well known, is the farly offered by Mr. Bell-Irving then a Member one modelled after the s.s.

Apart from the defective plan of the ord- inary tenement house, the lamentable loss life caused by the collapse of newly-built houses during the past summer has demons- trated the necessity of making contractors personally responsible for work that does not satisfy the requirements of the law as to quality of materials. This has been dealt with by the new Building Ordinance.

While I was in London the question of the purchase of a site for a new Post Office on the Praya was submitted to the Secretary of State and on my recommendation was ap- proved, the payment of the purchase money $508,000 being made our of the balance in hand A-sum-of-$20,000-for-the-p-eparation of the foundations has been placed upon the Estimates and 1 hope that in a short time the Colony will have the benefit of this much- needed improvement.

The ordinary revenue for tça3 is estimated Amount to $4,583,295 and the ordinary expenditure to $4,714,501, leaving a deficit of

In addition to this the estimated expendi- works public ture upon extraordinary -amounts to $931,100,--while the estimated- Revenue from land sales is $350,000, leaving a further deficit of $81,100. The total deficiency to be made good is therefore S712,306.

It is not expedient to raise this sum solely from additional taxation. I therefore propose subject to the approval of the Secretary of State for the Colonies to raise a Loan on account of

William value of Colonial shares, Sir Gascoigne thoughtfully opines that this is merely a "temporary condition," and that things will come to their normal level before long. Since the date of His Excellency's despatch a healthier tone is evidenced in stock prices generally and more particularly in the shares of the leading industrial es tablishment under reference. Down at $200 about a fortnight ago they have recovered to $216 buyers an indication that a restora- tion of confidence is steadily but assuredly setting in.

A SAU INCIDENT;—At about midnight yesterday a Portuguese, under the influence of drink, while walking along the Praya at Wan-

without permanent injury to His Majesty's health, and the manner in which it was borne has served to intensify, if that were possible, the loyal affection for the person of His Ma- jesty among his people, who admire the kingly qualities of fortitude and courage displayed at that most trying juncture.

I was glad to learn by the telegrams that Hongkong was not behind the other portions of the Empire in its demonstrations of joy at the Coronation of the King and Queen, and hope that the King's Park then dedicated to the use of the public will in-future be an open space as attractive as it will be valuable to the inhabitants of Kowloon.

Under the provisions of the Treaty of Com merce arranged at Shanghai between Great Britain and China, the Inland Navigation Re- gulations have been revised in accordance with the views put forward by the Hongkong Cham. ber of Commerce and the ports of Kong-Moon on the West River and Weichou on the East River have been opened as Treaty Ports.

1

I congratulate you on this arrangement, for which have striven for the past three years Some of the provisions of the Treaty have been adversely criticised on the assumption that the Chinese Government will be unable to per form the obligations accepted by them. must, however, be apparent that such an assumption would preclude any arrangement whatever, the necessary condition preliminary to any Treaty being an assumption that each of the Contracting lowers is able and willing to carry out the obligations agreed upon."

The past year has been one of great impor tance to this Colony, for during the year careful inquiries have been made into its water supply, is sanitary condition, its education, and its public works. The report on the educational system is sill under consideration. That on the Public Works Department shows the necessity for an increase in the Public, Works staff. Provision in the Estimates has been made for a portion of the proposed increase; the remainder is still under the consideration of the Secretary of State for the Colonies."

The failure of the rainfall during the year brought the question of the conservation and distribution of the water supply into promin- ence, the immediate result of which was the

passing of an Ordinance dealing with the sub- ject, under which it is hoped that waste may be checked. But apart from the prevention of waste the time has come when the collecting area must be largely increased to meet the requirements of an increasing population. How the expenditure is to be siet.

COLLAPSE INQUIRIES. Standing in the name of the Hon. Play fair was the following question, which he proceeded to ask-As in the Colonial Secretary's, reply to my question at the last meeting of Council, he admitted that there were no regulations on the subject of holding inquiries into collapses of bouses, and as section 6 of Ordinance 17 of 1888 | only permits the Magistrate to inquire into Praya Reclamation, Government

The Hon. May replied The answer to the question is; on the completion of the inquiries now being held the matter will be considered. WATER ACCOUNTS.
