HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
unanimously decided by the committee to apply to the Director of Public Works for the grant of an extensive site on Nathan and Salisbury Roads. This new site will occupy the whole of the frontage of Nathan Road and 80 feet deep on Salisbury and Middle Roads. The intention of the organising committee is to erect there a large matshed, subject to the approval of the Hon. Inspector General of Police and the Fire Brigade in order to accommodate the overflow. I think it would be interesting for this Committee to learn that even before application was actually sent in, because it took a day or two to prepare a plan after proper survey, one leading firm of British merchants in Hong Kong applied for seven of its departments quite a quarter of the enlarged space. It is all very satisfactory from the point of enthusiasm shown by those participating in the Fair.
Speaking on behalf of the organising committee, I think it will be money very well spent when it is learned that seven firms representing British cars are actually on the register to date, applying for space for the exhibition of British cars alone. That, as you know, takes up a lot of space.
Several new features will be introduced this year and I hope if the Committee should have to approach the Government for an additional grant that the Finance Committee will approve of it readily.
Interest has been aroused in the Dominions. Canada has telegraphed to find out what space is available; Australia has done similarly and the local demand goes on increasing every day. The New Territories will be very adequately looked after by the sub- committee.
THE HON. SIR HENRY POLLOCK.-I take it that the Director of Pubic Works has no objection to the space being allocated.
THE HON. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.-No objection at
all.
THE CHAIRMAN.-The Government, Mr. Braga, is very gratified to know of the enthusiasm the Empire Fair is arousing. The Government is naturally very interested in making the Empire Fair a success; any request for additional funds will, I am sure, receive the most sympathetic consideration from His Excellency. Meanwhile, if you will pass the existing vote and will apply to the Government for such further funds as may be considered necessary the matter will come before the Finance Committee again in due
course.
HON. MR. BRAGA.-Thank you.
All the votes were approved.
