A letter from a member of the Association was read, drawing ut- tention to the fact that ticket holders for the ferry between Kow- loon City and Hong Kong were allowed to travel only on that ferry. while ticket holders for either of the ferries between Hong Kong and Mongkok, Shumshuipo, or Yaumati, were allowed to travel on any of the Yaumati Ferry Co.'s
