The enlargement of the Han. yang Arsenal has long been under consideration. It is estimated that the amount required for building more premises and purchasing additional machinery will be over 300,000 dollars. Owing to the Jack of foods, it is considered by the Board of War that one third of this amount should be paid by the Hopeh Provincial Treasury in order to relieve the pressure on the Central Government. The Director of the Arsenal has been notified with regard to this.
