members of the Legislative Council requesting the Government to pro- serve the rider main system. Tho Association's letter expresses the Chinese residents' disappointment over the restriction of the water supply to rider main houses despite the substantial increase in the water storage in the reservoirs.
The Association opposes univer- sal meterage on the ground that an increased burden on the owners of property is not justified in view of the many empty houses in even the most densely populated parts of Hongkong. The introduction of universal moterage would indirect- [ly affect the occupants of tenement
houses, it is pleaded.
