CANTON AUTHORITIES ACCEPT TENDER.

Canton, Jan. 15. About a fortnight ago, the Municipality invited tenders from the various building contractors in the city for building a large hostel for the new branch of the Poor Relief Home In Shekpai.

It is learned that the tenders have been already opened by the Municipal authorities with the re- sult that the lowest offer of $39,400 by the Kinlung Company has been accepted.

Owing to the amount of funds possessed by the Home being FOREIGN ACCOUNTANTS NOT found to be insufficient to meet the

The soquel was a complaint to the Managing Committee and the decision of the Committee to ex- clude the plaintiff. Subsequently the Committee were advised that the decision was ineffectual, and they decided to rehear the case.

Mr. Archer, K.C., for the Major, said that the Committee had since passed a resolution suspending the Majer until January 31 from the use of the club. They said that their previous decision of partial suspension was invalid. In the meantime it was quite impossible! for the Major to continue his at- titude of being at liberty to attend the club, He (counsel) thought the best thing would be to unk that there should be no order on the motion except that the costs should be costs in the action, and that the Major be at liberty to bring another action if necessary.

Mr. Justice Farwell said he thought the proper order would

be,

no order on the motion ex- cept that the costs be reserved, and he made his order accordingly.
