If, therefore, it be determined to introduce any system of bond, it would, we think, at least be desirable that full particulars with respect to the system in force in Botterdam should be as- certained, and a definite idea formed as to how far it would be applicable to Shanghai. Should it be possible to institute a system by means of which it would be possible for goods under bond to be stowed in the merchant’s own godown, three very important advantages would be secured. First a danger, which ought not altogether to be overlooked, that existing in- terests in property would T)e interfered with, would be obviated ; secondly the merchant’s trade would be much facilitated by always having his goods near at hand for inspection, &c.; and thirdly the Chinese Government would benefit by being able to institute a system of bond far cheaper in this manner than by build- ing extensive warehouses...”

The ChairaIzVN observed that the immber of Residents having diminished, it was, he believed, the general wish t.liat still greater reduction be made in the Municipal expenditure. The expense of maintaining an European Constable was consi- der ble, and he desired to ascertain the sense of the Meeting regarding the necessity of incurring this expense. Mr. Ntchol considered that, after their ex- perience with Chinese performing constables’ duties, it would be unwise to attempt doing with- out a foreigner, and that expenses would be in- creased by such a proceeding rather than dimi- nished. This view was opposed by Mr. Kleinwachter, who expressed an opinion that the extra trouble attendant on the supervision of the Chinese em- ployes would be fully compensated by the conse- quent reduction in the expenditure.
