Hangchow Under Gen

LU YUNG-HSIANG

Great Improvements Introduced by an Energetic Tuchun The word Tuchun being conventionally synonymous for something with horns, hoofs and a barbed tail, it is only fair to pay tribute to any members of that much vilified class where it appears due. And such a tribute the appearance of Hangchow certainly expresses towards General Lu Yung-hsiang, Tuchun of Chekiang. Shanghai residents will realize how General Lu works for the welfare of his people by taking a motor-car trip to Woosung. For the road between Yangtszepoo Point and Woosung was built by General \Lu's troops about five or six years ago when General Lu was Military Governor of Shanghai and Sungkiang, and will remain for ever as a memorial to him. General Lu is now working hard for the improvement of Chekiang. He has drawn up excellent plans for the building of roads throughout the province but for the present has been forced to hold them up owing to lack of necessary funds.

However, with the limited funds at his disposal he has set to work with energy to improve the seat of his administration,—beautiful Hangchow.
