Then the milk la strongly suspect, and when threatened with supervision the cow-keepers simply leave the hill. Hero Mokanshan lcads the way, residents having agreed to a stiaht increase of price in return for the dairymen submitting their milk for the Association's test and_ seal. What the "CE. C. P."" complains of most is the overcrowding by bringing any numbers of Chinese to live on the Estate under various pretexts.
