COAL DUMP! THAT KOWLOON COAL
SPIRITED PROTEST BY
CHATHAM ROAD RESIDENTS down, say beyond the railway
AREA
COAL DUMP ON RAILWAY
SEVERELY CRITICISED"
DEPUTATION TO INTERVIEW AUTHORITIES
MEETING UNANIMOUS THAT DUMP IS. A CONTINUOUS NUISANCE”.
..66
. Over sixty people, representing owners and tenants of property along Chatham Road, Kowloon, attended the specially convened meeting held at the. Peninsula Hotel yesterday. to consider what should be done with regard to the nuisance caused by the coal dump on the railway property in Chatham, Road.
Mr. G. E. Terry, Chairman of the Kowloon Residents' Association, presided over the meeting which, by a resolution, appointed a deputation of four to ascertain the Government's intention and policy with regard to the coal dump. It was thought that no useful purpose could be served by petitioning. His Excellency the Governor until the Government's inten- tions were known.
16-22'
The meeting was marked by spirited protests from ten and owners of property in Chatham Road and a resolution was passed condemning the dump in that it constituted a con- tinnous nuisance to the neighbourhood and rendered it unidesimble as a residential district..

A RESIDENT'S PROTEST
Brigadier R. B. Cousens: I think as a resident I ought to protest as firmly as possibly can against having our view from the flats en tirely spoiled and having to put up with coal dust which is com stantly being blown into our houses. But my chief remark is on behalf of the owners. I am not an owner but I have been in the same flat for three years and do not want to leave. I know several people are waiting to take it over if I left at all and one gentleman who wanted to take my Bat over anid: "Of course, I shouldn't want that. flat unless the coal dump is remov ed." I merely tell you that fact to show the effect that it is having on people who wish reside in Lye moon Building
are kept looked by the military authority and are only opened for the passage of troops. If it is necessary to put, coal on the sca front at all, might it not be lower bridge where there are no houses in the immediate neighbourhood. There is only a little further on. Then there are other suitable places-Kai Tack and Wanchai for instance.
I have no doubt there will be plenty of other residents in Chat- ham Road on the dust nuisance and the loss of the beautiful view of Lyemoon Pass, but I should like to say before concluding that these two points are of the utmost ́im- portance and I sincerely hope that steps will be taken without delay to overcome them.
MR. GIBSON'S QUERY --
Mr. J. S. Gibson: Might I ask if it is British coal or Japanese cool?
Tho Chairman: I am not in a position to say one way or the other, but, I am given to under stand that it is Japanese.
Mr. Gibson: Still, we are told to buy British. (Laughter.)
Mr. Gibson then stated that be was one of those appointed for the survey of the New Territories some thirty years ago and the question of the railway came up. It was through tho recommendation of the then Executive Engineer that the stretch of land along the railway terminus came about. He said he knew more about that land than and lady or gentleman present probably did. That land sacred to the defence of the Colony. He said the railway was not, as many would think, for the con- venience of everyday passengers for Canton but for the convenience of getting troops out to the Border when the pecusion arose.
