THE ADMIRALTY DOCK.
The correspondence published in another column relating to the public petition pray. 26.00 ing for the discontinuance of the work on, and the removal of the Admiralty Dock from, its present site will be read with considera- ble disappointment, not to say regret, by all classes of the inhabitants of Hongkong Strong as the arguments are in favour of the abandonment of the present site for a more suitable one which the Colony offers on this side of the island, it must have been felt by those who approached the Home Authorities on the question, that the unyielding obduracy of the Naval officials might be too great to be overcome by a petition originating from the commercial community of the Colony. Hence the prayer for the appointment of a Royal Commission of Inquiry upon whose decision the Colony was content to allow the matter to rest. The petition has been met with a bland denial. In this instance, however, the inhabitants were supported by the sympathy and strong recommendations of H. E. the Governor who, in recognition of the gain that would accrue to Colonial interests in securing for the Colony 2 con- tinuous road on the waterfront for the whole breadth of the island, could not surely be tanindful of Imperial interests also. How. ever, it has been shown that the inhabitants have once more embarked on a fruitless deavour to obtain the best advantage for the Colony, and must resign themselves to the A. S.
