"What do you want me to do?" asked His Excellency, the Offrer Administering the Government (the "Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G.) when he was confronted with what appeared- to be a large steering wheel, Actually it was big valve-a verit- able "magic key," which, as he turned it, unlocked the harbour pipe line, and let the waters of the Shing "un River flow into Hong Kong. The temporary flooring erected under the pier groaned and gagged as more and more interested persons stooped their heads to pass onto it and see the ceremony, and the Inspector-General of Police (the Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolic) looked extremely anxious.
As His Excellency turned the whee: there came a hiss and rush of water, grateful indeed to the ears of those who remember last year's shortage of that precious element," a boise, Mr. Serthorn wittily remarked in his speech,"sweeter than the pipes
of Pan.".

Ha was particularly associated with the hirst section of the Shing Mun Scheme which was sanctioned by the Secretary of State in June, 194, and of which the Harbour Pipe Line formed an important

Many portions of the scheme have' already been completed viz: The Intake Reservoir, The Tunnels and Conduit, The Reception Reservoir The Mechanical Filteration Plant, The Land Pipe Line conveying the Shing Man River water to Kowloon Point. The Service Reservoir now under construction and lastly the Harbour Pipe Line now completed and connected with the Hong Kong City Mains,
To have brought works of such magnitude to a successful comple tion is an achievement of which any Civil Engineer might well be proud.
Though other portions of the Scheme were proceeded with there was considerable delay in deciding
