THE PROPOSED STATUE.
Sir-You must admit that the majority of Hongkong is against using public ground for the erection of any statues. To the average Britisher the word statue always reminds him of the Unter den Lindin.
During the late Governor's term of office the Peak become a network of water pipes so that the upper classes might enjoy a constant supply, of clean drinking
water.

Now, Sir, kindly turn your view to Sam-Sui-Pu and see the thousands of carpenters engaged on building craft of every description, ocean-going vessels and others,-also-many-other-in dustries employing many thou- sands of hard working. good citizens, and ye: these families are compelled to dip the bucket into filthy wells alongside the foot- paths.
How not these little children as much right to be free of dis-i ease and death as those that live on the Peak? These people live only ten minutes' walk from the public ferry and their con- dition of living is a scandal to. any government.
There can be noexcuse as they live under the Union Jack and that means at the present day equal treatment, for rich and
poor.
The people have begged for public conveniences:-A" tunnel through the Peak, a bridge, a network of tramways at Kow- loon. a pipe line to the above district.
No Sir; no statue: at least let us forget.
