To the Editor of the.
"NortH-CHINA Datty News."
Sir,—In a letter published in your journal of yesterday's date, "Trios" invites criticism of a—proposal to form.an_ Association of Houseboat Owners.
If through the development of the suggested scheme it is possible to obtain expert technical advice on alterations, ete., to boats of various types, and what the cost of these repairs should be, I am convinced that "Trios" will receive the cooperation and support of. the majority of houseboat owners.
As one of them I thoroughly endorse his proposal.
