The Toll Mounts..

Tokyo, later. The toll of lives lost and the destruction wrought by yesterday's hurricane continues to mount.

Two naval planes carrying a of four belonging to the crow carrier Agakl, are officially, report ed to be missing in the storm, during practice off the Korean const.

Three bluejackets were washed overboard from destroyers, and it is feared were drowned.

It has therefore been proposed that this city be marked off Inter different sections as referred to above. The Governmental Ad- ministration Section will be made in the central part of the city, and the commercial section is to be marked out at flourishing centres according to the nature of the

Suitable parts of this city will be marked out as the Residential Section, while the faland of Honam will be marked off as Residential Section with a 'part of it as Commercial Section,

It is to be noted that the City Planning Committee, in Canton had also a proposal to divide the city into various sections, and that certain places were fixed for the purpose. As its proposal may be slightly different from the one now laid forth by the Bureau, of Public Works, the Canton Municipality has passed the one together with the map drawn up by the latter to the and Com- mittee for Investigation and decision.

Eight people are known to be dend, and seventy-six injured, "

The property loss is estimated to excond a million yen.

In addition, the winds fanned disastrous conflagrations in two northern towns, resulting in four donths and destruction" of alxty buildings,

The loss of life at sen, where still many fishing bonts aro missing, is not yet certain, but it is feared it may be heavy.-Router.

Since the formation of the Afforestation Bureau, the authori- tion thereof have planned many projects to build up forests in, the various districts of this province. and have decided upon opening five model foresta on several well- known hills near Canton, such as the Yuet Shou, White Cloud, Tingwu and Lofou hills, says the Canton Gazette, The estimated costs for the opening of these forests have already been pre pared, and a budget was submitted to the Provincial Government with the request that the Department of Finance he instructed 10, Issue payment of funds to. enable the early realization of the project. Owing to financial stringency the Department of Finance has found it hard to comply with the request of the said Bureau for the present, and in consequence no funds have been appropriated to enable the model forest to come into existence at an early date, though it has been proposed by the tation Bureau to first start the opening of two of these forests on the Yuet Shou Hul in Canton, and the Tingwa Hill in the Kaoylu District, leaving, the other three. to be opened at a later date when the Department of Financo afford to pay the expenses,

In view of the present season of the year which is a golden oppor- tunity for the people in various districts to carry out the aforesta. tion schemes, the Afforestation Bureau has issued instructions to all the Mayors and Magistrates, ordering that measures be taken to arouse the interest of thd people of their respective districts in the importance of afforestation for their own welfare, and, demanding immediate reports on all con. ditions in their districts in regard to afforestation.
