To the Editor of the "Nonrt-Cutxa Dany News"
Sm—There is an old saying that "A new broom sweeps clean", 50 I wish to commend to the attention of the new Council the following 10 points which should have their immediate attention, with a view to improving the moral and health of the City.
1, Cooperate with the Chinese Authorities and have all beggars immediately removed from the Settle-Ment and Extra-Settlement roads.
"2. Instruct the local police force roads, "2. Abolish completely—or legalize—houses of prostitutlor "4. Dispense with all Municipal Road-making and other construction departments. Have all new work and repairs done at competitive prices By firms who are ratepayers.
Overthrow the Rickshaw Hones and start a scheme which will lead to-a {otal elimination of the Rickshaw ten years time.
Tevestabliah Police control_on fail" Settlement and Extra-Settlement Foods.
7. Prohibit parades of "armed force" by all Defence units on what over they might be called, unless Special permission has been.' granted by the Gounel.
Prohibit garbage and_night-salt carte bring the streets after 7.30 a.m. tao, Tal vacant and undeveloped land.
10. Help to make Shanghat the Model Settlement that tt has so often been called.
With such an eminent body of men fon the new Council, I feel sure that it will be their wish to do their best to improve conditions and at the same time reduce Municipal expenditure, so it is quite possible that some of the ten points as mentioned above will receive attention, and the new broom will make a clean sweep.
