sensible remarks of the Hon. Ng Choy become peculiarly applicable. The overcrowding of the Ching Town the west would gradually be remedie by the establishment of a regular and easy communication along the whole lins. And this opens a wider consideration as to the possibilities of a train-ear roadway further east and farther west... Indeed, although the town of Victoria cannot as yet boast of possessing lurge masses of population at either end of its irregular shoro line, there is every reason to believe that its increasing population must ultimately spread east- Bward; and it may be truly said that nothing is known that so powerfully shapes such a process of development as direct means of transport..

of that object there may be wisdom and safety in a discussion by rival claimants to the right. At the same time, appears to us to be probable that the rival claims of parties interested may Tead to a totally different result. If the leading ides of the so-called rivals be the the same-viz., the introduction of the best system-it seems a pity that their interests should be divided in n small place like Hongkong; aud it is to be hoped that same satisfactory understand- ing may be arrived at ere the subject comes forward for serious consideration.
There is a sufficient connection be tween tram-cars in Queen's Rond and
the lower ond higher levels to justify a reference to the latter. We have heard it stated by a practical engineer that a transit by means of the endless- rape tramcar system could be established between Queen's Rond and the Victoria op for something like $50,000. This is a very different enterprise to anything that has yet been put forward affecting the communication between tlie lower levels and what is facetiously known as Cloudland. But if the possibilities of new sites and increased area for European residence be taken into account, it would appear that the ides is one that certainly deserves attention in connec tion with other schemes of a kindred
