The Post Office and Harbour Office.

For some time past, there has been considerable comment in the local news papera with regard to the delay in carrying out certain public improvements, and the Public Works Departinent has been sub. jected to a good deal of criticism. It is only fair to that department to say that in few places of the same size as Hongkong in any part of the world is so much money spent on public works from year to year. The critics of the department ought, too, to remember that the Government, as em- ployers of labour, are suffering just as acutely as are private firms in consequence of the operations of the guilds and the exor- bitant demands of contractors and men
arising from the large amount of new work at present in course of construction in the Colony.

The Present Post Office is extremely unsatisfac- tory, and owing to its lack of sufficient accommodation numerous complaints have been made about it during recent years.

The scheme of greatest interest, and pro- hably of greatest importance to the general public, is the one for providing an addition. al water supply at Taitam Tuk. A des- cription of this work was given in the China Mail some two months ago. It piny be noted that the small dam below the Taitam reservoir has been constructed, and the main for conducting the water from this dam to the tunuel has been laid, and the Another important work in course of site prepared for the establishment of the progress is the new Harbour Office, which is temporary pumping engine and boiler, as being built on a site to the eastward of the described in our previous article.
