In presenting this appeal for the amelioration of an unwarrantable hard- ship now proposed to be inflicted upon a section of Kowloon residents which has patiently endured a constant increase in rent on the part of large and influential landlords, my Committee has been greatly encouraged by recalling the occasion when, in response to a similar petition for relief by the tenants of Barrow Ter- race, Kowloon, the Government, in Sep tember 1918, notified the petitioners that it had been able to make arrangements whereby the rentals complained of were appreciably reduced.
In conclusion, my Committee venture to express the hopes that, in examining the facts as herein presented, the Govern ment will bestow upon the subject its most earnest consideration, and that the petitioning tenants on the present occa sion will be awarded that relief which to urgently need
