HONGKONG, OCTOBER 21ST, 1905.
1s closing the interesting disenssion to which we have opened our columns during the past fortnight as to whether the Clock Tower should be reanoved or allowed to remain where it was erected by the volun- tary contributions of the community more than forty years ago, we need scarcely emphasise the fact that the whole question must be decided according to the results of an inquiry into the allegation that it is an obstruction to traffic. An Old Friend of the Tower," it is true, has advanced the legal point as to whether the Government can remove or destroy a building erected through the generosity of private individuals and handed over by them to the Govern- ment in trust for the public as a permanent memorial; but this is an argument which would doubtless not be pressed if it could he indubitably proved that the Tower is what it has over and over again been alleged to be an obstruation to traffic and a public danger. About the only thing the populer "Handbook of Hongkong" tells the visitor about our Clock Tower is that it stands at the top of Pedder Street, obstructing
the traffic," and there is, of course, the
confess that we are unable to follow this line of argument; we are rather disposed to accept the view of our contributor "BANYAN," that when the new Post Office and the new Law Courts, now being built in Des Voeux Rowl, are completed the probability is that the traffic, vehicular and pedestrian, to and from Queen's Road past The Clock Tower, will be very considerably increased, and this is a point which can hardly be ove looked in the consideration of the matter. If the whole of the farts should now or at any future fine be held to donand the removal of the Tower we think, a very suitable place for its re-erection-- espociulty as the Post Office will probably by provided with a public cick-would be u the piece of waste ground at the junction of Battery Puth with Queen's Rand.
