The "Sinwaupao" says that the residents of the Jen An Li Alleyway Chapei, have called the attention of the public to the fact that] their landlord has employed to make them pay their rents, contrary to the rales laid down by the Union of Tenants. It appears from the report that in March, the residents! requested their landlord to reduce their rents by 30 per cent. but the latter refused and invited Mr. H.
