LIVING CONDITIONS IN KAU WAH KENG UPPER VILLAGE IMPROVED
******
LIVING CONDITIONS IN THE KAU WAH KENG UPPER VILLAGE HAVE RECENTLY BEEN IMPROVED WITH THE HELP OF THE SHAMSHUIPO CITY DISTRICT OFFICE.
THE IMPROVEMENTS FOLLOWED AN APPEAL BY REPRESENTATIVES OF ABOUT 1,000 INHABITANTS TO THE SHAMSHUIPO CITY DISTRICT OFFICE FOR ASSISTANCE AFTER NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS IN WHICH VILLAGERS WERE REPORTED TO HAVE FALLEN INTO A DITCH FROM A NARROW FOOTPATH.
AS A RESULT OF A SITE VISIT, STAFF OF THE C.D.O. APPLIED FOR AN ALLOCATION OF FUND FROM THE LANDS DIVISION OF THE HOME AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT TO BUILD A FENCE SEPARATING THE FOOTPATH FROM THE DITCH.
A 300-FOOT-LONG FENCE, COSTING $5,520, WAS COMPLETED BY THE END OF MARCH. SINCE THEN, THERE HAS BEEN NO REPORT OF ACCIDENT.
MEANWHILE, THROUGH THE HELP OF THE C.D.O. STAFF, ANOTHER STANDPIPE HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN THE VILLAGE, BRINGING THE NUMBER OF STANDPIPES THERE TO TWO. THIS ENABLES THE VILLAGERS TO GET THEIR WATER SUPPLY MUCH EASIER.
APART FROM THIS, THE C.D.0. STAFF ARE GIVING ASSISTANCE AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE VILLAGERS WHO ARE NOW CONTEMPLATING TO FORM A MUTUAL AID COMMITTEE IN AN AFFORT TO FURTHER IMPROVE THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS.
