Publicity
13
Suitable publicity should be arranged, emphasising that both the foundations and the superstructure of the building are basically sound and that subsidence due to MTR works has ceased and is unlikely to recur. It should also be mentioned that the cost of restoring the building is for the most part to be reimbursed to Government by the Mass Transit Railway Corporation and its insurers.
