Well-Timed Criticism
(To The Editor, "Hong Kong
Dally Frem")
Sir-With his usual felicity of phrase, HE, the Governor when opening the Jubilee Dam Saturday drew attention to the two aspects of the water pro-
on
blem, the one of supply and the other of the avoidance of waste. In regard to the latter aspect, it is sumclently obvious to the long as the largest public that section of the population is per mitted to consume water without responsibility for payment, waste must continue, and will increase with an increased supply. So long, therefore, as the Chinese
living in tenement houses are not required" directly to foot the quarterly bill for "excess con- sumption” we can expect no lamelloration at this end of the
problem.
Government contends that it can- not deal directly with so large and floating a population, and that in any case substantial savings in cost of collection are achieved by collecting from landlords Instead of from tenants,
In taking up this attitude Gov- the ernment seems to overlook fact that the Electric and Gas Companies have always afforded this service direct to consumers, and what is possible with these public companies should be pos- sible with a Municipal undertak-

It is no exaggeration to state that before the morning las half gone, the vast majority of the lanes of Hong Kong would eclipse in their profusion of refuse even a Neapolitan slum, side street.

It will be recalled that phe of the recommendations of the Economic Commission which very
thoroughly examined the whole question was that "the water sup ply of the Colony should be re- organised as a separate Municipal undertaking under Government control and should be kept entire- ly separate from the Public Works or any other Government depart- ment."
It is therefore, much to be re- gretted that the motto "waste not, want not." so aptly quoted by His Excellency. was not incorporated in the memorial tablet. to serve as a constant reminder to the public of the need for economy, and to sowards which objective an efficient administration could make a useful contribution-Yours etc..

At the Hong Kong Hockey Asso- yesterday evening at the St. Andrew's Church hall it was learned that the Association will send a cable to-day to Shanghai stating 'that on account of counter-attractions they cannot guarantee any money. In the first place they have no ground suitable for hockey and secondly they cannot raise enough gate money."
Mr. Tyler suggested that they should have tournaments and in- ternational games and collect fees in order that the Association would make some gate money. He also added that he knows of a ground which is suitable for hockey.
The following were present at the meeting: Messrs. A. A. Dand, F. A. Kemp, G. T. Paimer, W. Tyler. K. Hussain and A. E. P. Guest,

Then there is the work among the children. As a Christian Church in this Colony we are in duty bound to take a deeper, wider and more practical interest in the English-speaking children around us.
