NEED FOR ADDITIONAL TREASURY FACILITIES TO BE INVESTIGATED
A sample survey is to be carried out to determino whether there is
sufficient demand for additional Treasury facilities on Hong Kong Island.
It will be conducted at both the Treasury headquarters in Central
and the Causeway Bay Sub-Treasury from July to September.
Organised by the Secretariat for Home Affairs, the Census and Statistics
Department and the Treasury, the survey will be undertaken by undergraduates
of the Hong Kong University.
The aim is to establish whether there is a positive neod for another
sub-treasury on the Island and if so, the best possible location for it.
To ensure that the survey is a success, members of the public are
urged to co-operate by giving their views when approached while making payment
of their rates, water charges and other government accounts at the two
Treasury collection centres.
A similar sample survey held at the Kowloon Sub-Treasury last year
provided some useful information and the government is now considering opening
another branch in Kowloon.
