Previous Scheme

The amount of training necessary to propan for these locol services is com- paratively small and in a wor, where it is necessary to make the most econo- mical use of one's resources, it would be wasteful to employ personnel train-

а

ed for general services upon specialised local defence measures. Moreover, owing to the distance of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom, local re- quirements here must in war be met from local resources, and it is to adapt our local resources and personnel for asc in war that the present proposal is put forward.

The Counel will remember that, in the Budget for 1927, at the suggestion of His Majesty's Government, scheme was included for the creation of a Hong Kong division of the Royal Volunteer Reserve. That scheme involved the maintenance of two mine-sweeping sloops and consider able personnel. It required a large initial outlay and, once decided upon, would have necessitated heavy mainten ance charges. The scheme was adopt- ed by this Council and the sum of $40,000 was voted as the estimated ex-. penditure for half a year; but, in view of the financial situation then existing, the Secretary of State for the Colonies decided to postpone the matter.

The Taipo road does not open up any hill district above Kowloon, because it passes through the waterworks' re serva, which is not available for re- sidential purposes. The Castle Peak road runs for the most part over flat coiniry and does not open up any hill district. Therefore, it still remains necessary to-day for any business man in Kowloon peninsula, who likes te spend his nights in the cool of the hill tops, to reside at the Peak in Hong Kong, whereas he could much more con- voniently build his house on the at tractive hill-range spreading between Customs, Pass and Lyemun.
