HONG KONG URBAN COUNCIL
CHAIRMAN: ----Are you asking a question? Mr. Lo?
Would you accept that,
MR. T. C. LO:-Is Mr. CHAN considering something along the lines of annual stock-taking?
MR. C. K. CHAN:-For that particular year, yes. Just an enlightening process, for enlightening those people who know nothing about art, like myself.
MR. T. C. LO:--Certainly, I think that is a very interesting idea, you mean sort of laying out all the objects and pictures and so on we have purchased during that financial year?
MR. CHAN:-Yes.
MR. T. C. LO:---That is quite an interesting idea, we will certainly consider that in Committee.
MR. FORSGATE:-Mr. Chairman, I notice that in the question, the questioner asked about "anticipation of the establishment of the Museum and Art Gallery in Tsim Sha Tsui" and the answer subtly says "an adequate Museum and Art Gallery in Hong Kong". Was that merely a slip of the pen?
MR. T. C. LO:-Mr. Chairman, to be strictly accurate we are not quite sure that it would be there. Hong Kong possibly in this context includes Kowloon. I only dare say this in the absence of Mr. SALES, of course.
DR. HUANG:-Mr. Chairman, for three successive years, the Museum and Art Gallery Select Committee have failed to spend the expenditure they are supposed to spend. Furthermore, the artists usually are believed to be more needy than other people; they use the money most freely. I don't know whether or not it is abnormal, it is an unusual phenomenon. I don't know these nine experts, now are they really good experts or not? Is there something wrong with them or not? Because you see almost all Government departments are fighting for more money and it is a surprise to me that every year they have got so much money left.
MR. T. C. LO:--The experts, to enlighten Dr. HUANG, do not themselves submit any paintings or anything like that. We ask their opinion on certain antiquities or art work that we consider buying. We ask their opinion, not that they submit any possible items to us.
DR. HUANG:-Thank you.
HONG KONG URBAN COUNCIL
