Equipped with walkie-talkies, traffic Police were on the go from 6 a.m. today directing traffic in the centre of the town to conform with the new diversions improvised as a result of the closing of Murray Road and Chater Road from the Hong- kong Club to Murray Road,
At the same time PWD workmen began tearing down the Murray Road fencing of the Hongkong Cricket Club and Forestry officials started to fell some of the 70-year- old banyan trees bordering the Club in preparation for the widening of Murray Road to an overall width of
