IT IS NOW CFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THAT THE TRANSPORT ADVISORY COMMITTEE HAS RECOMMENDED TO THE GOVERNOR THAT THE MASS TRANSIT SYSTEM AS PROPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT CONSULTANTS IS BOTH NECESSARY AND ADEQUATE FOR HONG KONGS FUTURE TRANSPORT NEEDS. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE POINTED OUT HOWEVER THAT THIS RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE ONLY FROM THE TRANSPORT AND TRAFFIC POINT OF VIEW AND THAT THERE ARE OTHER CONSIDERATIONS SUCH AS THE HIGH COST OF THE PROJECT AND OTHER CLAIMS ON HONG KONGS FINANCIAL RESOURCES.
BLACKWELL.
