+GRADUAL ADJUSTMENT FOR THE FUTURE+
III
AKERS-JONES
THERE WILL BE A GRADUAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT FOR THE FUTURE SO THAT IT IS MORE DIRECTLY WITHIN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE, SECRETARY FOR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION, MR DAVID AKERS-JONES SAID TONIGHT (SUNDAY).
HE WAS SPEAKING AT THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY OF THE HONG KONG CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
MR AKERS-JONES PRAISED THE ASSOCIATION FOR ITS WORK IN THE PAST AND ADDED: +BUT THERE IS MUCH MORE TO BE DONE IN THE YEARS THAT LIE AHEAD.+
+MANY OLD PROBLEMS SUCH AS HOUSING HAVE NOT YET BEEN FINALLY RESOLVED, THERE ARE NEW PROBLEMS ARISING FROM A MORE CROWDED HONG KONG AND AN OLDER HONG KONG, BY CHANGING SOCIAL ATTITUDE AND RISING EXPECTATIONS. AND THESE IN TURN CREATE NEW DEMANDS ON OUR ECONOMY AND OUR INDUSTRY, HE SAID.
+THUS THERE IS PLENTY OF WORK TO BE DONE. I AM SURE THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION WILL PLAY ITS PART FULLY IN THE RESOLUTION OF THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES AND IN THE LIFE OF HONG KONG IN THE YEARS AHEAD, HE ADDED.
