Over and above these appeals there is the appeal that much as possible the opinion of retapi has constantly been made by the Chissie Go. of this Settlement in such an impor vernment to the Council and the Ratepayers sion. It is quite fair to infer that meeting to take steps to close at the earliest the Council has taken in proposing possible date all opium dens here, following is of twenty-five per cent in the own action. I hold in my hand four appen's licences to six months has not which I believe have all been submitted to the willingly by them, but because of Municipal Council from Chinese in and around of the ratepayer as it has been expresse Sbanghai, Hera is one that has been pub. public press at their meets lately Their Bahed in some of the papers, from twenty first intention was to make reduction of ten compradores, and other influential Chinese, per cont and then because of the opposition Here is a document containing a petition from that was increased to twenty five per cent.

I must ask you to consider with all seriousness these appeals, They are from our fellow ratepayers and tax and pay a great proportion of the taxes of this city and by which this city is ruo, with whom we are allied continually in business interests. They appeal to us to close these dens at the datliest possible moment in Shanghai and fol. low along the lines of Chinese action in the dative City I dare to assert that there is not one opium des running in the Chinese city to- day.
