Knowing that the question of improving the Star Ferry approach was engaging the attention of the Government, the Committee, at their provious meeting, resolved to Ask the Government to acquaint the KR.

It may also be stated that the Committee has proceeded on the principle that convenience and utility are of greater importance than aesthetic appearance. They have, accordingly, considered the. interests of the Kowloon residents rather than the tourist photo- grapher, and decided against the suggested continuation of the Station colonnade across the whole frontage, as being an unprofitable outlay of public funds and a hin- drance rather than a help to the solution of the traffic problem. "At the same time the Committee be- lieve that the various shelters, which they recommend for the comfort of passengers, arranged in such symmetry that they lend themselves to an archi- tectural treatment which should give the ferry approach, if not an imposing, at least a pleasing and artistic, appearance.

A point which has been strongly urged is the need for widening, the Salisbury Road, particularly where it comes to a battle-neck opposite. the Water Police Station. It is further contended that the most effective widening will be on the southern side. The indebtedness of the sub-committee to Mr. F. J. Easterbrook for his painstaking work in preparing the drawings and working out the details of the scheme was cordially acknowledged. The report and plans have now been sent to the Colonial Secretary.
