It is proposed to make a start this year with the

reconstruction of the Upper Levels Police Station, the total

estimate for which is $220,000. The present building was

originally an old mission house erected more than 45 years ago

and is now in a very bad condition. Provision had been

made in the 1925 Estimates for a new station on a new site

and work had already been begun, when the whole of the front

of the site collapsed in the Po Hing Fong disaster. Since

then nothing has been done. It is now proposed to rebuild

the Station as a four storeyed building on the existing site.

The policy of adding to the Kowloon Hospital

as funds permit is continued by including provision for an

Outpatients' block. I need scarcely atrads the fact that

Kowloon is growing rapidly and the need for increased hospital

accommodation and improved facilities for the treatment of

outpatients is most urgent.

I should be glad to receive your reply by telegraph.

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,
