sessions, will eventually accommodate over 1,600 children), with special rooms for wood-work, housecraft, etc., as well as offices, lavatories, etc. There is also an out-patients' clinic and a school health clinic, which will share a pharmacy, and a post office. These public facilities, which will eventually be purchased by Government from the Authority by means of a credit in the capital loan account, are run by the Education, Medical and Post Office departments respectively, and have been de- signed to their specifications. They are for general public use, and not reserved for the tenants on the estate.
There is an Assembly Hall which seats over 500 persons, with attached lobby, lavatories, and a store. Seventy one shops are incor- porated in the estate, around the ground floor perimeter. These are of varying sizes, but all are provided with a kitchen, cookloft, wash-place and W.C., and most have an enclosed (but uncovered) yard at the rear. The shops will include cafes, restaurants, tailors, grocery stores, barbers, etc., and allocations will be made so as to provide the maximum convenience for shopping to the tenants.
A bus terminus has been constructed by the Public Works Department on the central concourse, which remains the property of Government.

Until the vans arrive from United Kingdom, however, the refuse must be cleared manually.
LIFTS
There are twenty lifts in all automatic, and operated by the passenger. All operate on what is known as the 'skip floor' system: that is, they will stop only on the ground, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th floors (using the Chinese counting method, whereby the ground floor is regarded as the 1st floor), and tenants living on floors not served by lifts can either walk up or down one floor.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
The estate has its own electrical sub-stations, contained in the two 'flying saucers' at the front of the Centre Court. Each sub-station is
