Mokanshan, Aug. 9.
The weather up here is glorious, dry and fresh, and the bamboos look very clean after the rain.
It is earnestly to be hoped that the road round Tah Shan will be repaired, as it seems hard that the best walk in Mokanshan should be spoilt, by the carelessness of the coolies quarrying stone. There was a report that the road was to be opened last week, but up to last night nothing had been done towards repairs. Administration certainly works slowly up here, and residents can only hope it works surely in time.
It may be mentioned that at the annual meeting of the Mokanshan Summer Resort Association held on August 3, it was stated that "the Tah Shan road has just been opened."
The corner stone of the new Assembly Hall was laid yesterday evening, in the presence of a good number of people. The typhoon did very little damage up here, and was not a bad one.
