The Colonial Secretary, in Legis- iative Council yesterday after- noon. In answer to questions" by the Hon. Dr. Li Shu-far, disclosed that there were five large and one small tanks containing berzine and kerosene, and four large and three small tanks: containing liquid fuel oil at the North Point Installation, and two small tanks containing benzine at the West Point Installation.

None of the tanks in Kowloon are in the immediate vicinity of residential areas.
"The requirements of the Fire Brigade in the matter of sur- rounding the tanks by retaining walls and of connection with the chemical foam fire extinguishing system have been complled with and there is no reason to think that the precautions taken are not adequate for the protection of property in ordinary circum- stances." said the Colonial Secre- tary.
"The risk to neighbouring "pro- perty would, of course, be increas ed by war conditions."
