VILLAGE SETTLEMENTS PROJECT AROUSES KEEN CHINESE INTEREST
Keen interest has been aroused among local Chinese circles by the Hongkong Government's project to encourage village settle- ments on the southern shore of Lantau Island and along the coast of Port Shelter from Ho Chung to Tai Wan
Since the announcement of the project, numerous inquiries have been made at the Village Settlements Committee and its sub- committees and applications for allocation of agricultural plots are being received in increasing numbers.
