If we desire further con- demnation of the system we can find it in the remarks contained in an address before the Grand Council of Progress Associations at Brisbane recently, in which the! speaker declared that experience in Sydney had shown that the installation of meters had caused a waste of expenditure in capital outlay without adequate results.

Yet the policy of the Hongkong Government is to extend the use of meters rather than to restrict their employment. His Excellency, in his recent statement on the sub-
