27.-More Land Wanted In The City

In the immediate vicinity of the Hongkong Club are a vast number of Chinese shanties, which the owners would doubtless replace with suitable tenements should the Government require them to do so, The. Government under terms of the leases can resume land for public purposes, and surely con- siderations. for the permanent wel- fare of the Colony should be deem- ad a public purpose." Besides tolders of ground. remember that the permanent value of their pro- perty will stand rauch' enhanced.

Furthermore the Governor is go well paid that we think him in duty and in honour bound to da his utmost for the benefit of this Colony. Now in addition to the salary let it be borne in mind that His Excellency occupies a house that costs the Colony a large sum and that the grounds about the house are at present very valuable That is all right enough, but still such is the fact. There is beside a large track of land between the Al- Government House and The bany--and another long strin to the West of the Nullah, which are į greatly wanted at present. The. only objection to selling this! ground is that his Excellency is i averse to houses standing between the wind and his robility. Really we can see no reason in this. The conditions of sale of this ground

might, stipulate for houses of a certain class which would be both ornamental and advantageous If the value of this ground b- added to what we have already named, the cost of the Governor to the Colony will be found to be some thing prodigious. Even this how ever, we should not object to 80 much. If the public weal did not requires all available land.
