The levying of the proposed tax was
briefly referred to in an address by
Neil Bonner of Philadelphia, president
of the National Federation Of Liquor
Dealers. He declared that in his
travels he has learned that the peo-
pie do not want the liquor traffic abol-

applauded when he said: THE paid

side of the story is altogether differ
ent. 1t is this:
Originally the land on which the
building is situated belonged to the
government and. during the Republic,
was given to the United Chinese So
ciety for use as hospital. But there
was a stipulation to the effect that,
whenever the society ceased to use
the place for hospital purposes, the
land should revert to the government.
The department claims that the
place has not been used as a hospital
for more than three years About
three years ago the county rented the
building for school purposes at a
monthly rental 6f about $50! Later the
stipulation regarding the reversion Of
the land came to,light and the county
declined to pay any more rent.
This was followed by suit by the
territory to eject the United Chinese
Society from the land, the. suit still
pending in court. Deputy Attorney
General Heen informs the Star-Bulle-
tin that an agreement has been reach
ed whereby the department may use
the building for school purposes until
the termination Of the action for
ejectment. ~. -,

owns the land?' says Superintendent
