It is felt, however, that in com- parison with the scale of wares ruling or the Hong Kong side, the bus fares in Kowloon are unrea- sonably high so that this question awaits further attention.

The question of improving the service along certain routes has also been dealt with, and an ex- press service during rush hours was suggested which it is to be hoped will be an improvement.

TRAFFIC AND STREET

LIGHTING

stressed to Government the inade- The Committee has repeatedly

quacy of street lighting, especially in the main thoroughfares of Kow- loon, and the uselessness of the traffic islands which appear, to be a feature of road-making in the northern part of the Peninsula.

Government was specially re- quested to remove the islands along Prince Edward Road, but so far it seems to see no reason for such action.

#

Regarding street lighting, if re- sults are to be taken as any criter- fon, Goverment's experiments in the vicinity of the Alhambra Thea- tre seem to have given no enlight- ment, as it will be noticed that the area specified has reverted to its former poor standard. It is considered, that this question of road lighting should have Govern- ment's immediate attention as the large number of accidents on the roads during the last year in Kow- loon are mostly attributable to the present defective lighting.

MISCELLANEOES

A number of changes took place during the year-Mr. J. H. Shaw who very

ably carried out the onerous duties, of Hon. Secretary was obliged to resign in December through pressure of work, so that the duties devolved upon Mr. Chas. E. M. Terry as soon as he return- ed from Home leave." The Vice- President Mr. T. B. Wilson resigned prior to his proceeding to the United States on holiday, and Mr. C. M: Manners also went on leave, Regarding the use of Bt. An- drew's Hall for meetings the Asso- ciation felt that some mark of ap- preciation should be expressed to the St. Andrew's Council, and it was decided to donate $40.00 to the Church Fund.

The Association's thanks due to those officials of Govern- Public ment Departments and Utility Companies with whom the Association has come in contact during the year, for their courtesy. Thanks are due also to the Coun-. cil of St. Andrew's Church for the use of its Hall for meetings, and to the local press for publishing per- notiodical reports of the Association's

activities.

It is to be regretted, however. that on account of the prohibitive rates demanded by the Chinese Postal Administration, the air mail facilities from Hong Kong to North China through Canton could be more extensively used.
