American Express Travelers Cheques

Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-r

"The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a "form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of a letter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade name of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS CHEQUES the world "Travellers' being spelled with one "L" The advantage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the Bystem."

This was seconded by Mr. Pat- tenden and was carried, after a question by Sir Henry Pollock as Council was to be elected, what to on whist principle the Church their qualifications were to be, and who were to be the electing bodies, had been satisfactorily answered by Dean Swann.

At a later stage, the Bishop sug- gested that a notice be inserted in Cathedral Notes and St. Andrew's Church magazine that anyone desiring to see the Bill could do so on applying to the secretary of the Church Body.

Pew Rents.

VILLAGERS' HUTS.

ORDERS TO VACATE RESENT- ED BY OCCUPIERS.

A complaint from the villagera of Kowloon

to Chal relative notices received from the Govern ment requesting them to vacate their huts was read at the monthly meeting of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which was held yesterday afternoon.

The hut holders complained that] they had bean requested by the Government to vacate their huis and were offered $300 compensa- tion for the erection of other dwellings elsewhere. They point- ad out to the Chamber that they had been in occupation for several

$300 which was offered to them was inadequate for the purposes of building suitable accommoda- tion elsewhere.

The Bishop said he understood that Mr. Cassidy was going Home on leave this year and would not therefore be available. Ho had acted as honorary treasurer for the last three years. During that time he had thrown a very great deal of energy into the work and Mr. Cassidy proposed the fol- they owed him a debt of gratitude lowing"To approve the aboll-generations and that the sum of for all he had done (applause); tion of new rents as from the pass- His Lordship proposed that thating of the Ordinance and the for- expression of thanks should te mation of the new electorate.

The New Ordinance.

The next business on the agenda abolition of pew rents had been In doing so, he. Anid that the was, generally to approve the prin- ciples contained in the proposed before the congregation for some Church of England Trust Ordin-ew years past, and had already

in principl ance and Regulations for Church been approved Councils.

Practically no opposition had been in evidence and he thought that In making this proposal, Mr. the majority of church people Justice Jacks said that at the last could not understand why the annual meeting they approved of abolition had not been effected the principle of the abolition of long since. The reason was that pew rents. During the past year The Church Body lind given a con-

so long as the present Ordinance siderable amount of time and con-1emained in force the Church could not rid itself of pew-renters sideration to the point. The first point which struck them was that for they formed part of its present with the abolition of pew rents, electorate. pew holders would cease to exist. as pew holders, and pew holders formed a majority of the electors of the Cathedral Church Body.

to

It was therefore necessary look round and consider what the electorate should be in the future and in doing so they turned to the Home conditions prevailing at with regard to Church Councils, It was decided that they would follow the lives of Church Councils at flame and have a Church Council in Hongkong which would be elected by an electorate which would also have to be formed,

That involved further points of considering how Church properly should be held. It was eventually considered that the best plan would be to form a body of trustees who would be capable of holding all Church of England property in the Colony. Church Courcils would be formed for each Church in the Colony, one from St. John's Cathedral and one from St. Andrew's Church. The body of trustees should consist of ex

officio members and others with the Dean representing that Church, together with two lay members to The appointed by the councils of the Cathedral and St. Andrew's Church respectively,

|

The object of the motion before the meeting was to empower the Church Body to disfranchise pev renters as 4001 as the propose.! Ordinance was passed and the speaker hoped that they would eignify their agreement.

It might be some months be fore the Ordinance went through, said Mr. Cassidy, and it was there- fore necessary to continue to allot seats to existing scatholders and for that purpose it was necessary to retain a register of seatholders, The Electoral Roll would take the place of the Register.

Sir Henry Pollock asked whe| ther they were likely to luse much by the abolition of the pew rents. Mr. Cassidy replied that the total amount received for new and banks rents from firms- amounted to $930. It was possi- ble that 25 per cent, of that would be lost. It was, however, rather hard to any.

They requested the Chamber to petition the Government on their behalf.

The, Chairman remarked that it was rather hard on the people to have suddenly to vacate their homes. Coupled with the difficul- ty of finding another site, the Chairman did not think that $300. was suflicient.

taken the matter up with the Government and the question was

nox under consideration.

lowsTo instruct the Church Body to arrange for the formation of an electoral roll on the lines of the draft regulations for Church Councils, 1920, clause 17"

The Dean said that they would require some preparation for the now electorate to be ready,as soạn) as the Ordinance was passed, if it was passed. They had no right to ask, people to join an elector.de which did, not exist but they must be ready, the moment the Ordinance was passed, to ask people to join. The resolution was merely to in- struct the Church Body to make preparations and to decide how best to go about it.

Messrs. Lowe, Bingham and Matthews were clected as auditors. for the ensuing year.

Because of the new Ordinance being ready for approval in the near future the election of a Church Council was not proceeded with.

said that the members of the coun cil last year had worked hard and he thought that they should re- by Lieut. Col. W. F. Christian atid tude for their work,
