TURNSTILES."..
I notice that the Ferry Company has erected turnstiles on the wharf at Kowloon, apparently. with the object of checking the passengers travelling by the boats and so arresting any leakage in the fares. Why does not the Company do away with the ticket collectors on the boats altogether and station a collectors on the Kowloon couple, of Wharf so that all farés. were paid there. It could easily be done, the Kowloon to Hongkong passengers "paying at the com mencement of their journey and the Hongkong to Kowloon ones at the end. Would not this be a saving to the Company in the number of their ticket. collectors, for the turnstiles are apparently but so much extra expense with no reduction in wages to be set off against them.
