We note that a large area ex- tending from Kowloon Old City northwards and embracing · the Kowloon Golf Club'e course and the Riße Range has been marked as permanently reserved for purposes of a Park and playing fields. We agree that this ares should be per- manently reserved but we regret that we cannot put forward any useful suggestions for its further development for purposes of creation until a new site can be found elsewhere for the rifle ranges. We believe it would great Iv benefit the recreational facili tics in Kowloon if the rifle ranges were transferred and we recom- mend that Government should use every effort to provide a different location for them in some other part of the Colony.
