Each application will be judged on its merits, but consideration

will be given to such factors as the benefit to Hong Kong in the case

of international sporting events, the degree of popularity in the case

of local sporting activities and competitions, the reliability of the

association and competing claims in relation to funds available.

Assistance in the form of block grants will not in normal

circumstances exceed 50 per cent of the total estimated cost.

Organisations seeking financial assistance of this kind should

address their applications giving full details to the Secretary, Sports

Subvention Allocation Committee, Colonial Secretariat, Hong Kong.

TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS

Restrictions on motor vehicles which have been in force since

the June rainstorms on a section of Conduit Road will be lifted as from

tomorrow (November 1).

This means that the road will be open to all traffic and not

just for holders of special permits.

From 10a.m. on Thursday (November 2) several streets in Kowloon

Tong will be re-routed to improve local traffic circulation.

The section of Knight Street between Belfran Road and Boundary Street

will be routed one-way northbound; all vehicles will be prohibited from

making a right turn from Knight Street into Prince Edward Roads and the

section of Duke Street between Embankment Road and Knight Street will be

routed one-way eastbound.

Traffic signs will be erected to guide motorists.
