"HOUSING, PROBLEM.
THE CHINA MAIL.
ARE PROPERTY OWNERS PENALISED?
AN ARCHITECT'S OPINION.
Following our report of what has been done by some Hongkong house owners since the passing of the Rents Amendment Ordinance stopping unnecessary house demolition, one of the firms of local architects has supplied the China Mail with certain opinions which should prove highly inter- esting in view of the allegation made by some owners that they have been harshly, treated,
The whole discussion hinges on a passage in the Attorney-Gen- eral's speech when the Bill came before the Council In explaining the Bill's purport the Attorney General said, inter alia, "That wider discretion is given in order that the Governor-in-Council may be able to allow reconstruction in special cascs, such as the further. development and laying out of a whole block of buildings which may very well be desirable in the public interests even though the houses in the block may be in auch a condition that they can stand for a considerable time."

"A great number of property, owners are anxious' at the present time either from worthy or un- worthy motives, and it does not seem to matter which-to pull down old, dilapidated and insani- tary premises; and to replace them with new, comparatively speaking well-built and wholesome houses. "This movement-if it WAS allowed to proceed-would result
(a.)—-In an increase of from 25 Amy per cent. to 50 per cent, in reai-Boihow and Pakhoi ........... dential accommodation in the St cases of the houses dealt with.
(b.)-In much reducing-in a few years the insanitary condi- tions in the central district.
(e.) In alleviating the present conditions with regard to exorbit ant rents.

It seems a pity that the Govern- ment should no doubt with the best intentions-obstruct this movement."
