Yo the Editor of the "Nortu-Cama Dairy News."
Sur,—With regard to a news item you give to-day to the effect that several prominent Chinese are urging the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs to approach the Municipal Council with a view to suppressing clandestine prostitu* tion, I write in the hope of catching the eyes of the said Chinese to ask them also to take up the matter of Jukong and Kwantung Roads,.off North Szechuen Road, and outside Settlement limits.
These places are a disgrace to the authorities responsible, and an appeal to have conditions inside the Settlement improved would be more convincing if the "prominent Chinese" and the officials concerned would show j. what they themselves are able and willing to do in territory controlled by Chinese, and not by~ the Municipal Council which is facing its own difficult problem in & commendable manner?
T am, etc., Norruern Resipent.
