LETTER
FROM
THE OFFICIATING COLONIAL SECRETARY
TO THE
SUBSCRIBERS OF A MEMORIAL TO LORD STANLEY.
Το
Messrs JARDINE, MATHESON, & Co.,
DENT & CO. MACVICAR & Co., &c. &c.
Colonial Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 25th August, 1845. GENTLEMEN,-I am directed by his Excel- lency the Governor to acknowledge the receipt, on the 23d instant, of your letter dated the 13th, enclosing a Memorial to Lord Stanley, and to inform you that the said Memorial shall be duly forwarded to His Lordship, according to your wish.
In the perusal of this paper, several obser- vations have occurred to the Governor and Council, which they consider the present a convenient occasion slightly to notice.
His Excellency's predecessor, Sir Henry Pottinger, in consequence of complaints against the high Land Rents, similar to those urged in the present address to Lord Stan- ley, appointed a Board of Officers to value the lots disposed of at the early sales, with the provision, that should any individual deem his lot overvalued by the Board, he should be at liberty to hold it at the average rate at which similarly situated lots might be disposed of at the approaching public sale. This sale took place not long after- wards. The minimum price affixed to the lots was the same as that placed on similar lots previously granted, and the result was, that while the upset price of the lands amounted to £1300, they were sold by auc- tion for a rental of £2000,-proving that the former rates had not been unfair.
The lots disposed of at the latest sales, with the full knowledge of the terms of existing leases, have continued to average as high as at the preceding ones. Lord Stan- ley remarks in a recent despatch, that "it "would be difficult, as Sir Henry Pottinger "has observed, to apply any better test of "value than sale in a fair and open market." With all the alleged discouragements and disadvantages, the building of substantial private houses has continued uninterrupted, until the present year deprived Macao of its remaining English merchants. If rents are now reduced to nothing at that place, this | must arise chiefly from its desertion.
As to Canton, the rents and prices at that principal seat of the Chinese trade are notoriously exorbitant, and it is impossible to con- jecture what they would have been, but for the outlet and the advantages afforded to the merchants of warehousing their goods in a British colony.
The Memorial states, that "in a place "nominally declared to be a free port, every
description of commerce or trade is a subject "of taxation or source of revenue." The answer to this is the well-known fact, that not a single Customs Duty is levied on the import or export of a single article of commerce or consumption-no package is inspected by a government officer in either landing or shipping-no custom-house what- ever is in existence-and althongh advised by Her Majesty's Government to levy a small Tonnage-duty, to pay the Harbour expenses, His Excellency the Governor has disobeyed his instructions rather than inter- fere with the freedom of the port, by impos- ing even sixpence a ton, when the harbour dues at the five ports and at Macao are about three shillings.
No Import duty whatever has yet been levied on even wines and spirits-a produc- tive source of revenue in other colonies. It would be difficult to shew that any direct tax whatever (unless Land Rent be so termed) has been paid by the English por- tion of the community. While an Income- tax of 3 per cent is paid by the civil, military, and naval officers of the Government, in common with their fellow-subjects in Eng- land, nothing of the kind is known to the richest colouist of Hongkong. It seems un- fair and partial, after the resources of the mother country have been profusely ex- pended in protecting the persons, and ex- tending the markets of its mercantile subjects in China, that the greater part of the future civil expenses of this colony should fall on the British public, as an exception to most other colonies.
The alleged absence of progress in the trade and population of Hongkong can only be judged of by an appeal to facts. The Harbour-master's official return shews that the European Tonnage of the half-year ending 30th June last was 62,264, while in the previous corresponding half year it was only 49,371. It has been admitted even by those opposed to the Government, that a growing native trade in junks has com- menced in spite of the 13th Article of the Supplementary Treaty. Mr Gutzlaff re- ports, that 120,000 pieces of Cotton goods have been taken away by 13 junks in this year.
It is little more than a twelvemonth since life and property were constantly endangered by the nocturnal attacks of banditti, and 12,000 Rupees of government money carried off by force, the soldiers who guarded it being murdered. A strong and effective Police, and the rigorous execution of the laws, have put an end to this, and the conse- quences are seen in the increased numbers
47
48
མ
and respectability of the Chinese population. The rapid rise of good native shops in diffe- rent parts of the town is visible to all, and at the same time only one of the proofs which the Government possesses of an in- crease and improvement which mere allega- tions cannot unsubstantiate.
A rent of just £1000 per annum is at present paid for an indifferent house, which did not cost double that sum in building. The daily and increasing growth of dwellings on all sides, each surpassing the other in accommodation, must certainly tend to de- preciate such property as this. It is much better that it should, being the natural result of that law by which supply increases with demand, and price diminishes with supply, until all has reached a more permanent level. With regard to the Opium and the smaller licensed farms, which (with the exception of Crown Rents) form at present the chief sources of Revenue, these have been strictly adopted in their details from Singapore, a place generally quoted as a model of free- trade prosperity.
His Excellency the Governor and the Legislative Council will be happy to carry out any alteration which her Majesty's Government may please to prescribe as to the mode of levying the Police-rate. As the present Ordinance was drawn up with the assistance and advice of the colonial Law- officers, it may be presumed to be sufficiently
|
correct as a mere legal measure.
In reply to the objection that Government Assessors are empowered arbitrarily to value all house- hold property, it must not be forgotten that there is an appeal open to those who deem themselves over-rated. The moderation of the assessment (whatever the mode may be) is best proved by the deduction of 40 per cent from the gross annual value, in conside- ration of the exorbitant rents at present paid for houses. The same is to be inferred from the total estimated collection of not more than one-third of the actual expense of the Police force, a body whose efficiency has been generally admitted, and whose protec- tion few are unwilling to enjoy.
It may be presumed that if the colonial community were to be charged with the management of the Police, it would be re- quired to provide for its entire outlay, and in this manner the Government would have both less trouble and less expense.
His Excellency the Governor and the Executive Council, for the reasons above stated at length, and because the preparatory measures have already taken much time, see objections to suspending Ordinance No. 2; and they therefore regret that in this respect it is out of their power to meet the wishes of the subscribers to the Memorial.
I have the honour to be, &c., (Signed) W. CAINE,
Officiating Colonial Secretary.
