WA CHINESE VIEW, AS
Hon. Mr. Wai Yuk-- beg to say that I quito concur with what the two hon, wombora Lavo just said as regard the police force, particularly the Chinese detective department, which requires energiging and mozo supervision, because there are so many crimes undetected and unreported to the police.
AN OFFICAL RETET
ho might consult his friend on his right as to what his experionco is in the matter of estimates-think he would find that the Pablic Works Department not alone' whore such oxcossas aro incurred,
Hon. Mr Hewett I presume you aro referring to government departments, not to any business?
The Director of Public Works-I allude to the friend on your right (Hon. Mr Osborno As regards the railings for Royal Square, Blr Frederick Lugard has expressed a very strong desirs that the space in front of the Club and the Law Courts should appear as far as it is possible to make it a really open space. He criti- cised somewhat severely the existing rall toga in front of the bank, which had been apokon of in laudatory tarms by the hon. mambor, because they had the effect of enclosing the place and making it appear a really not what it is, an open space. Another item to which the hon. mum- ber alluded was the Kowloon waterwork There again the question of the cali inmate was referred to. Sir, the capacity of these works is somewhere about doublod since they were undertaker, Tes dam has been raised and a very much larger catchwater constructed than was over Gatimate contemplated when this original. was framed. I was pleased, Sir, to hear the remarks of congratulation that fall from my hon, friend a little lower down the table (Bon Air Osborne). His anxiety to pross-forward the work and see it cam, ploted within the contract time, namely,

great certainly ought to be, because the bulk of work in connection with the typhoon rofuge can be carried out with unskilled labour, whereas in the case of the Law Courts and the Post Ofice the work was almost entirely of a very highly skilled alasa
The Director of Public Works-Sir, rising to reply to the remarks which have fallen from the linn, members opposito on the subject of public works. I would vonture to hope that this will be the Inst occasion on which our friends the Law Courts and Post Offico come up for criticism at this Council (Hear, har.) In October, 17, when discussing the estimates for the following so, stated that expooted the Law Courta be completed in 1910 and that the Post Office would reach completion in 1911. I have no reason to alter that statement as regards the Post Ofice, but fear the Law Courts will not be completed by the end of this year. I hope, and I think I may safely predict, that both will bo completed by the middle of next yeast The hon. member opposite (Hon. M Hewetty complains the the work on the Fest Office has not been vigorously pros. ecuted, and lie followed up his statement by saying that anyone who had to work or sleep in that vicinity had a rery bad time of it. The statement ap peared to me very contradictory."
Hon. Mr Howell I have complained to the hon. momber about this before.
The Director of Public Works--is complaint would indicate that the work had been prosecuted too vigorously for the comfort of the neighbours. As regards liis remarks on the design of the building, 918th
