pot, will cut holes into the false spaces

fire to the wooden false work now in

and replaced with light steel beams
and the fireproof floors with fireprool
monolith floors in the place of any
wooden floors. These radical changes
are essential to the safety Of the

however. are very much less than those
of other ports, being $4,000 in 1902 out
OF total of s1.SSO.OOO. Its prominence
over the other treaty ports as point
of importation is due largely to the fact
that it is of itself a considerable city,
with comparatively large foreign pop
