estimates for 1950. It is only proposed next year to build
four miles of this road from Kowloon City to the village of
Ma-yau-tong in the gap overlooking the harbour between
Custour Pass and yamun. The object of this section of the
road is to open up a hill district for the Yarloon Peninsula
similar to that on Hong Kong island.
It is, of course, very desirable that tie
Grace of the whole road should be permanently marked out, in
order that the work already done by the engineers of the
Public Works Department, in connection with this scheme, may
not be thrown away; but, in view of the reluctance of all
unofficial members of the legislative Council, save one, to
pass this vote at the present time, I have no thought it
desirable to press for tie adoption of item No.7% by means
of the official vote in Legislative Council.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
hurable servant,
(Sd.) C. CLEMEN' I,
Governor, &c.
