Restaurant Licences. The Hon. Colonial Secretary moved the following resolution:

"Resolved by the Legislative Council that in respect of Chinese Restaurant Licences for the year 1926 only, the following Schedule of fees is substituted for the Sche- dule of fees contained in the Second Schedule to the, Liquors Consolida- tion Ordinance, 1911, under the heading ""Chinese Restaurant licence" on page 1901 of Volume IV of the Ordinances of Hongkong,

The resolution was seconded and adopted.

Peak Tramway.. The Hon. Attorney General moved the first reading of a Bill intituled an Ordinance to amend the Peak Tramways Ordinance, 1883.

He said the Bill did not make any serious or important changes in the law, but he thought the changes this Bill would make were formally necessary or practicably

desirous.

Mrs. M. D. Matheson, of 42 Dufresne St., Montreal, states: "My little boy, five years old, was threatened with fever. I gave him Baby's Own Tablets at night and in the morning he was better. I always use Baby's Own Tablets for my little ones."

They enabled in, the first place the Governor in Council to allow the maximum speed of ten miles an hour to be exceeded. In rega-Kinngse Road, Shanghai. lations which had been drafted

and which would be made when theROYAL & CO. Bill was passed, the maximum speed was 12 miles an hour.

In the second place the Bill made it clear that the law allowed electricity to be used as motive power on the tramway. It also provided for an increase in the maximum fines for various offences. At present some were much too small. For example the fine for trespass on the track was only ten dollars and the maximum fine for an action endangering the lives of persons travelling was only $25.

These maximum fines were now being increased. In the fourth place the Bill proposed to do away with the anomalous rule that rules and bye-laws do not come into operation until a month after their appearance in the Gazette.

As a general rule bye-laws- published in the Gazette came into operation at once and there was no reason why that rule shuld not apply in this case.

In the fifth pince tha: Bill pro- posed to give the Governor in Council power to alter the sche- dule which contained charges and fares At present there was .00 means of altering them except by Ordinance. Of course no amend- ment would be made except after full consultation with the tramway

company.

The Hon Colonial Secretary seconded and the Bill was read a first time.

Wireless Telegraphy.

The Hon. Attorney General moved the first reading of a Bill intituled an Ordinance to amend the law relating to wireless telé- graphy and said the main object of the Bill was simple. It was o make it necessary for receiving. sets to be licensed.

The opportunity had been taken however of improving the form of. the

Chinese Restaurant licence: Licence for a period of three months. When the valuation of the premises occupied is: under $500 $62.50; $500 or over, but under $2,000 $125.00; $2,000 or over, but under $5,000 $250.00;

present Ordinance and 35,000 or over, but under $10,000 $500.00; $10,000 or over $750.00: shortening it. The Bill provided that in future the possession a in advance.

He would like to point out that the Schedule of fees now appearing a wireless telegraphy station was on page 1901 of Volume IV of the specially defined not to include Ordinances of Hongkong, 1844-apparatus such as that in a store 1923, shall be of full force and for the purposes

In doing so he said that Hen. Members were probably aware that there was an outcry earlier in the year against the necessity of these licence fees being paid in a fump sum in advance at the beginning of the year:
