PROPOSED INCREASE- IN TAXATION.

PROTEST BY KOWLOON RESIDENTS.

At the special Emergency Meet- ing of the General Committee of the Kowloon Residents' Associa tion, called in furtherance of the resolution already reported in the Press and sent to Government, the subject of the proposed in. crease in taxation to meet the in- crease in expenditure which will result should the recommenda- tions of the Salaries Commission be put into effect was debated at considerable length.

An exhaustive survey of all figures in connexion therewith, compiled from Statutory Reports and Blue Books was laid before the meeting, and after all aspects of the case had been thoroughly "It means that if I don't follow examined and discussed, a report him, I won't get him, that's all." of the Committee's views and pro- Natalie knew her sister and theposals was adopted, and it wag young girl's friends too well to be unanimously agreed, that it be "Go and pick on mother."

"Well," she laughed, "what is it, Florence? Have you just heard from the Prince of Wales?"

"Why, how did you guess?" Flor- ence cried, in mock amazement,

"Oh, I know," Natalie assured her, "It doesn't matter whether it's the same Prince of Wales who is heir to the British throne, it's always the Prince of Wales."

Florence sighed. "You've been through it; you ought to know," she said. Then, more quietly: “That's just why I've come straight to you with my news.

Natalie replied without pausing to consider her answer. She wasn't ready to tell her troubles. "No, of course not," she said hastily.
