for could not be granted, although, Mr. Bellamy pointed out, no rea- son was given for the decision.
Mr. Bellamy, in the course of further.conversation, greatly re-. gretted the Government's decision not to proceed immediately with the new road between Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay, saying that he could not understand the argu-: ment that the construction of the
Tai Hang Road, for example, was more in the public interest. If the Causeway Bay-Quarry Bay Road had been built, this problem of the limitations caused by the single track on parts of the Shaykiwan Road would hever have arisen.
Mr. Bellamy referred, in this connexion, to Sir Henry Pollock's remarks during the Budget debato, in which he said: The portion of the road from Ah Kingle Slip: way to the South China Athletic Association Bathing House is one of the most difficult and dangerous roads in this Colony," and we cons sider that the continuation and completion of this road for the full distance between Causeway Bay and.Quarry Bay should not only be taken in hand, but should be cómi pleted without further delay. fact we regard it as most unfor tunate that the work on this road should have been, delayed for so long."
To Government's Advantage. Speaking of the Government's rejection of the Tramway Com- pany's proposal to double the track between the Polo Ground, and Ming Yuan, Mr. Bellamy Bálá be would have thought that the iden would. Have proved acceptable to the authorities, especially as would mean that the Company would double its obligations with regard to road maintenance over the area affected,

Asked if motor buses could not cope with the heavy traffic at the Stadium, Mr. Bellamy said that would be out of the question, as from double to treble the numberT of vehicles would be needed, in adition to which the fare would have to be increased, as the operat- ing costs per seat-mile (in Hong- kong) by motor bus were about double the comparable tramcar

Suggested Siding. * However, Mr. Bellamy said there was one possible method by which the problem could be partially met, and that was by providing a siding. for the trams at the side of the Stadium. They might be able to get twenty trams on such a siding) And these could be filled and got away as soon as a match was over. The one disadvantage of this plan, which the Company was now cón- sidering, was that the ordinary tram traffic coming eastwards. would be held up until these twenty tramcats got through, but, in the circumstances, that could not be helped,
Mr. Bellamy concluded by say- ing that it was, essential, in the public interest, that every facility: be given for handling big crowds," and trams were best suited to mags. transportation.The Tramway Com- pany, were randy and anxious to lay down a double track to cope with the traffic, but, unfortunately, the Government was not very help ful in the matter,
