England has one representative in each of the singles semi-finals men's and women's in the Bri- tish lawn tennis championships at Wimbledon (in which the second

Remarks
The above scheme has been wit forward as a temporary measure, but it is believed that it should be also installed as a permanent part of the water works of the Colony not only to provide for any future emergency, but because it will be necessary, in the not distant future, to tap low pressure, sources of water supply in the New Territory. Such low pressure water would obviously be sent across the Harbour at a low pressure, and after reaching the Hong Kong side pumped up to the required high level.
To carry out such a permanent installation it would be necessary to increase the size of the V.R.C. alte by some further reclamation-- (As shown by the dotzed line in the detail plan) and also suitable elec- trically driven plunger pamps should be substituted for the Tangye pumpe.
