"onoh material will bare to be discussed by the Committee and the wharf most suitable for the public use ought to be atisfactorily recided upon with the aid of the members of that Committce. If
there be any possibility that, after the permanent form of the wharf is decided open and the money in reted, the vote may uguin lapse into the Treasury, it will be well for the Committee of Public Works to suggest that their abours be not altogether wasted. They might, for instance, insist that their views be em- bodied in a report and printed, so that say four or five years fence, when the next generation of Governors and Cam, mitous find the wharf eggin rising up for consideration, the views of a previous Committee may at least be forth... coming to help on the good work. This at least is due to future generations; otherwise the progress of the world and Hongkong way ba seriously rewarded. The Colonial Secretary, it may be noted, said that it was quite impossible at the present moment to do anything to Ped- der's Wharf, because a great deal of consideration had to be given to the ques- tion of its reconstruction with wood, iron, or stone. It will be seen that the great deal of consideration may lead to another lipse of the vote; when the 'great deal of consideration may have to be done uver again, four or five years bence.
