Change In Procedura

Of Election

Shanghal, Mar. 28. A possible forecast of a spirited election for the Shanghal Municipal Councillors on April 10 and 11 is seen in a report of the Japancso

daily Shanghat Mainichi which staten that several requests by the Japan- ese ratepayers have been granted by the Shanghai Municipal Council, ac- cording to the Shanghat Times.
