However, they know their own business best, but we do think that some of the bareholders might have asked a question on the point, if only out of sheer curiosity. Certainly at a similar gathering, in Shanghal, where a company was engaged in vast operations, extending their premises at great expense, we "fancy there would have been in quities made. But, as we have said, the Hongkong shareholder is a werry 'umble person, something like the lamented Urials Heep, and so long as he remains content to say "thank you for the crumbs which fall from the directors' table he is not likely to be burdened with a superfluity of informa- tion concerning his own personal intercels.

` STREET TRAFFIC IN HONGKONG"
INCONVENIENCES AND ABUSES, (Specially writion forthe, Hengkong Telegraph.") In these days when the Colony is visited by thousands of tourists and globe-trotters in the course of the year, one is very often called upon to listen to complaints by those visitors concerning the lack of proper regalation of traffic so apparent to the eye of him who comes from well-ordered cities in Europe, Australia such complaints put forward without justice, They are indeed well merited by the slack. pers of the system that permite room for them. The street: traffic regulations of Hongkong are worse than in any other city in the Far East From Bombay to Hakodate nothing like their

In the early days of the Colony's history. when the number of inhabitants was still com paratively small, there was sufficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic accommodation-to-satisfy all requirements, but as the population went on growing by leaps and bounds, the main streets go more congested every day; and matter in a business way--not at all.

So the meeting passes off amidst the utmost harmony and everybody professes to be delighted. In reality few, if any, of the ordinary shareholders really comprehend the terms of the balance sheet. They know that they have or have not got a dividend which may or may not be satisfactory, but the way or wherefore, is beyond them. The chairman has said a few words in dulcet tones and there the matter ends for another six months, when the farce is repeated ́with the samDE caste, as before, the same old story slightly paraphrased to suit the occasion and the same old notions indicative of appreciation and regard. True, there are one or two of the more important concerns in the Colony which make it their business to take the shareholder into their complete confidence, but they are in the minority. As a matter of fact it is not the directors who are to blame but the shareholders themselves, who are too apathetic to look after their own interests.
