Prior to the completion of the works about to be described, the inhabitants of that portion of terzllory known as British Kowloon werp entirely dependant upon wells or streams in the immediate neighbourhood of their dwellings for their water supply. The rapidly increasing population and establishment and growth of industrial enterprises made it imperative that supply should be introduced from sources less liable to contamination”or,la failure during tha dry season
Accordingly, in 1893, works were undertaken on lines which had been sketched out by Mr. Osbert Chadwick, C.M.G., during bia vilt to the colony in 1890.
British Kowloon consists of a peninsula 23 miles in length by an average breadth of a little over 1 mile. The Southern extremity of the peninsula is very largely occupied by European residences and barracks for the Hongkong Re- giment, walist the coast line to the northwards

Negodailons have taken place between the Wages Commitice and the representatives of the various owners, which, apparently, have failed - to effect a compromise, for we understand that the shipping companies have intimated to the Wages Committee that they are unable to raise the present rate of wages for engineers.
The men stick out for their first demand, urging that the great fall of the lust law dare has strengthened their cause.
