BUILDING RECORD FOR SIX MONTHS
Special to the Hongkong Daily Press"}
(A review of building activities and progress from January to July 1939 will be presented to the "Hongkong Daily Press" readers in three consecutive installments.-Editor.)
Kowloon's march of progress in the first six months of 1940 can well be reckoned by the large amount of construction work which has and is taking place.

ness..
