The reasons why the Colony-in justice equally to Itself as to Sir Paul Chater-should commemorate a remarkable cureer, which extond- od over the space of two gonera- lons, are too well known to re- quire statement at great length. Hong Kong had not been establish- ed much more twenty years when in 1864, as Mr Paul Chater, he came here from Calcutta at the age of 18; thus the man and the) Colony may be said to have grown up together. The then young Colony required the devoted ser- vice of men with imagination, fore- sight and courage, and in him her need was admirably met. As a bill and bullion broker he first laid the foundations of a fortune which he constantly devoted to the develop- ment and welfare of the Colony which he had made his home. Realisation of the needs and pos sibilities of Hong Kong as a world port led him to undertake, ut first single-handed, and later in con- junction with Messrs. Jardine, Mathoson & Co., the installation and conduct of a wharf and go- down business which is now own- ed by the Hong Kong & Kowloon Wharf & Godown Co., Ltd.
