if we may be permitted to say so, about time too! Goverment has had this report in its hands four solid months, and just why there should have been all this delay in making it public is, to us, inexplicable. While it is true that whatever recommenda- tions advanced-by the advisory com- mittee cannot be made effective for some time, that does not detract from the document one whit its high im- portance and interest to the general public. More particularly as it happens report based on public opinion, obtained very largely from # questionnaire which, we believe, between 180,000 and 150,000 people took the trouble to fill in.. Govern- ment's four months' inaction in dealing with this report is scarcely calculated to atimulate public interest in their own affairs. We are not in a position to anticipate the advisory 'committee's recommendations, but we imagine that in the main they will sustain the general conclusions reached by the Inter-Departmental “ Harbour Ferry Services Committee whose report released last year.

the recommendations. Firstly it was suggested that future planning of harbour, sérvices should be directed to- wards dispersion with the prime object of avoiding the centre of either Hong- kong or Kowloon absolutely as far as vehicular traffic is "concerned, and relatively ns regarda passenger traffic. The report envisaged new terminals to provide for a new combined vehicular and passenger service, and six passenger services, notably one to connect East Kowloon with West Hong- kong, Another recommendation was that each terminal should be provided with adequate bus services, a suitably planned concourse and adequate shelter for waiting passengers. All these are fundamentally

sound and sensible auggestions and it will be extremely surprising if the Advisory Committee's report does not show that the general public is thinking along similar lines. Dispersal of ferry services is, in principle, accepted as a necessary development in Hongkong, and it is felt that if the latest report on har- bour ferry services, supports this principle with 'practical' recommenda tions, Government must see that the proposals are implemented as quickly' as is practicable,
