ELECTRICITY SUPPLY FOR KAT O RESIDENTS
Some 4,000 residents of Kat O Island are to get electricity supply
from the China Light and Power Co. Ltd. on Wednesday (January 24) following a
"switch-on" ceremony to be officiated by Mr. D.C. Bray, District Commissioner,
New TerritoMes.
The ceremony will take place at 11.30 a.m.
It will be attended by, among others, Sir Sidney Gordon, Unofficial
Member of the Executive Council; Mr. Horace Kadoorie, Director of the China
Light and Power Company and Messrs. H.S. Grewal and A.N. Savage, out-going
and in-coming District Officer, Taipo,
At present, Kat 0 Island, situated east of Sha Tau Kok, gets its
electricity from a privately-operated power generating plant.
The new arrangement has been made possible by the China Light and
Power Co. Ltd. which laid a submarine power cable linking the island with
the New Territories.
It is hoped that the general livelihood of the residents on Kat O
Island will be improved with the supply of electricity.
