mnorial of the Queen's Hixtieth Year. (Haaron bless her"and" preserve her until the real Diamond Jubilee, fifteen yours hence) The situation in Hongkong, how. ever, seems to bo this. The public me. morial here will be expected to be not only permanent, bai more closely connected with the Community than with the Gorerament, The Diamond Road round the Island, which in asivocated by asvoral leading residents, is a purely Governmental work, and if it is not calculated to return an equivalent to the Colonial Treasury, it can sercely he regarded as useful scheme. If it is, then the Government might be given 9 grant from the Hongkong Jubilee Fand to start the work, give it the name desired by the Committee, and under- tako to prosecuto the work to a finish. The weak point in this scheme appeara tes
us to be this. As the expened may be any thing between one and five lakha of dollars,

The made are the péculiar province of the Public Works Department,, and until we have Municipal Council to take them evor, endless difficulty might be met with. We do not say that the road sought to be 100 made (although at prosentomewhat. vaguely ¦
described) would not prova to be a distinct advantage to the residents of Hongkong. But the week is one more connected with the Government than with the community comiderod as apart from the Government.
