Ia view of the above and other, recent statements dealing, with seeming discrepan- cles in Tanjong Pagar accounts, we thought fit to hrvestigate this instance, capocially because the Bode has a semi-official standing in Batavia, and its statements might be accepted as authentic. We have it on absolutely the bat authority that the states ment of the Jav Lode is not only grossly inaccurate but is tinged with a malicious intent which should be exposed in the inter- esta of the Tanjong Pagar Dock Board. We trust the Board will take the necessary action in the matter, and that they will see to it that the Jona Bode is compelled to publish a contradiction of its mis-statement. The relations of the Tanjong Pagar authorities with the Dutch Naval Department have always been so, essentially satisfactory that the Dutch authorities make a point of send in the cruisers for overhaul here because of the efficiency of the Tanjong Pagar staff. The extent of the repairs which the Dutch Goverment has.placed and continues to place, in the bands of the Board demons |trates that the work executed here has their acceptance, and that they are satisfied with the reasonableness of the charges.
