1 BRIGHTON FOR THE "POPULACE"
THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS. TUESDAY, MARCH 8th, 1927.
ALDERMAN DOES NOT SIGH FOR GOOD OLD DAYS,
"SPLENDID PROGRESS."
"If Brighton is on the down grade, as has been suggested, how is it that we had mora visitors last year than ever before?"
Alderman Carden, the Grand Old Man of Brighten, made this com- ment when asked him for his opinion on the contention that Brighten should be brightened.”“
"We have never gone ahead so much as we are doing today," said Alderman Carden, and this cry that we are losing our aristocratic visitors is one that I have heard for thirty years. Of course we ao losing them. So many of these people want rest and quietude, and Brighton is too big a place to be
able to cater for them exclusively.
