at Sam Shui Po used by Tack On and Tung Hing. The old
Companies also reduced the fare to three cents. In November
1917 the pier was destroyed. The old Company applied for
permission to rebuild this pier or erect a new one but this
permission was refused. The Sze Youk Company continued the
service using a pier which belongs to Li Ping a member of
the Syndicate in opposition. The old Company had to dis-
continue a regular service save that, when the tide suited, they ran to the Government Stone Pier at Sam Shui Po. They
are still using it but can only get 5 or 7 times a day
instead of 24 times for each launch when the regular service
existed.
To summarize; a proper launch service, running at regular
intervals, was first started by Wong Lan Sang, who now represents the combination, as far back as 1902, since which
time improvements have been effected from time to time by
the addition of new and larger launches and by alterations
to old launches at enormous costs. After having undergone
many vicissitudes, including losses sustained for many years
due to keen competitions and to the depreciation in value of Dragon copper cents, and including the two typhoons of 1906 and 1907, the first of which destroyed or damaged about
eighty per cent of their launches, the combination began to reap the reward of their enterprise and perseverance only a few years ago; and it would be very hard if, on mere
allegations made against them by a few persons who are
desirous of ousting them, regulations were introduced which
might deprive them of their regular business, upon which
thousands depend for their livelihood. It should not be
forgotten that it is to some extent due to the enterprise
and perseverance of the combination that the Yau-ma-ti, Mong Kok and Sam Shui Po Districts have become popularised.
