today (Tuesday).
e full text of the speech given by H.E. the Governor,
e inauguration of the reconstituted Urban Council
"I am most grateful for this invitation to meet you. This enables
me to salute the new-style Urban Council. Its inauguration is an important
and happy event, and I do wish you all success in your work.
"The work of this Council, and the particular field it covers has
always struck me as of crucial importance. I am amazed by people who
deprecate the Council's role, or say that it has no importance or effect on
the daily lives of the population.
"On the contrary, much of what it handles is what matters most to
many people for much of the time. Hygienic food and restaurants
is self-evident.

Hygienic food and restaurants its importance
Clean streets and a clean environment and a clean appearance
to the city coneider what the recent campaign has done for so many people;
consider too the effect on them if the new-found cleanliness were dissipated.
"Parks to relax in in most cities these are mere pleasure grounds,
-
but in densely populated Hong Kong they are an absolute necessity. They are
also intensely difficult to build, and I will watch with great interest how you
solve the problem of hem construct parks and gardens that can be used by
t
the numbers that wish to and yet stay inviting, green and unsoiled.
