SUNDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1984
+FOR EXAMPLE, OF THE 52 PERMANENT OFF-STREET RCPS NOW IN SERVICE, 11 HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH A CARBON FILTRATION SYSTEM WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES OFFENSIVE SMELL AND DUST NUISANCE.
+ALSO, MOST OF THE 15 ADDITIONAL PERMANENT RCPS TO BE BUILT NEXT YEAR AT A COST OF ABOUT $1 MILLION EACH, WILL BE FITTED WITH A CARBON FILTRATION SYSTEM,+ SAID MR POON.
LESS COSTLY ARE THE FIBREGLASS SHIELD RCPS WHICH COST AN AVERAGE OF $10 000 EACH. OF THE 52 TEMPORARY OFF-STREET RCPS NOW IN OPERATION, 41 ARE MADE UP OF FIBREGLASS SHIELDS WHICH PROVIDE A STURDY WALLED-IN ENCLOSURE THAT MINIMISES THE SCATTERING OF REFUSE AND COVERS UP THE UNSIGHTLY PILES OF REFUSE AWAITING DISPOSAL. ADDITIONALLY, 22 NEW TYPE FIBREGLASS RCPS WITH ROOFS WILL BE INSTALLED THIS FINANCIAL YEAR.
+WITH PUBLIC CO-OPERATION, OUR RCPS AND LITTER BINS NEED NOT BE EYESORES,+ SAID, MR POON. +1 HOPE THE CYNICS WHO SAY THAT HONG KONG PEOPLE HAVE NO CIVIC PRIDE WILL BE PROVED WRONG.+
