The report on the assessment for the year 1903-1904, published in the Gaste of to-day, bears eloquent testimony to the faith reposed in Hongkong's remarkable power of still further advancement. During the past year there was no general assessment of the Colony made, the increase in the rateable 26.00 value on property being entirely due to the
normal growth of Hongkong, That in crease is shown in the tabulated statement appended to the report of the assessor, Mr.H. M. Battlesh P Pngeanu left fur Weihai- Arthur Chapman, and wife we reproduce wei to-day. as follows:-

The increase in the hill district cannot, of course, progress in the same ratio as in the business quarter of the town, and the addition of $5,920, an equivalent of 3.95 per cent., or half that of the city of Victoria, must be considered as satisfactory, and in view of the general tendency to make the upper levels of the island a residential area for the Eure pean population of the Colony, it is not too optimistic a view to take that the increase in the rates in this direction is bound to be a great deal more than what it has hitherto

We have often referred to this, at one time unimportant village, as a centre that will before long bid fair to become the most important township in the dependency of Hongkong. The tendency has been for the Chinese working class to gather together within the boundaries of Yarmati, but the greater dicility which will now be given to it with the completion of the new road already planned to connect Yaumati with Hunghon must assuredly help to further increase the popularity of Yaumati as a residential area with the Chinese po- pulation on the mainland.
