South China Morning Post.

Our Roads," Some years ago a practical

cheme was adopted under which certain fixed appropriations were mar'e for the maintenance of each ruad or streat, and this assured the repairs which were necessary, but the eyet m seems to have heen, abandoned and money is now appropriated in a lump sum to cover individual contracts for certain specified work. The question of contracts, also, raives the point that it is expensive economy to accept tenders on basis of prices lower than those which, in expert opinion, wills permit of satisfactory and enb atantial work, as it will be found hat the contractor will rarely allow himself to suffer loss, and in the absence of proper Bu

ropean supervision will furnish indifferent work and inferior Daterial. The loss resulting to the Government need not be pointed out."

The Position of Rabber, The steady drop in the price of Plantation rubber has caused much searching of heart, not only among planters in Malaya, but among all who have invested in the rubber companies of the Mid- time in 1910 as much as 128a pound was realised at the anotions in London for Plantation sheets; Messrs. Vernon & Smith's Inst report gave the price as Two Shillings ! A writer in the Malay Mail a fortnight ago, when of course, a fact that at the figure now obtaining many estates in this country cannot possibly pre- uce except at a loss, which is a serious mailer, The prophete are entirely confounded by this slump in the price of Plantation rubber. This is, indeed, a and world for prophets as well an apparently for profits. But the important question for the mo ment is, what is the explanation of this steady decline ? Writing to a London financial paper re cently, Mr. C. Malet, of Singapore, said, the present bear in planta- tion rubber is purely artificial, Other writere have been suggest ing that Plantation rubber is being found inferior to Para for utilitarian parroces, and the pessimist, is beard, in the Malay States
