This means that the Council will have control over all Food Shops in the whole of the Urban District, and besides having the effect of Eringing Food Shops in Stanley and Tytam under our control will also do the same thing | for Food Shops in Shek 0, which is the only other village of any Importance on the Island. As in the case of Stanley, we shall for the present have to deal gently with Food Shops in Shek O.

The new By-law 2 is very similar to the old By-law 3.' There is no alteration in the licence fees and the specially reduced fee of $3 per quarter will apply, as in the case of Pokfulam, Aberdeen and Apl- chau, to Stanley, Tytam and Shek O. The opportunity has been taken, however, to delete the names of Tin Shui Ma Tau. Fu Tau Fat, Ma Shan Ha and Chung Lung from this by-law. I have been unable to discover the exact whereabouts of these places: they are sald to ke, or to have been villages in the neighbourhood of Shaukiwani For our purposes they may be regarded as merged in Shaukiwan, and the inclusion of the names in the by-law '-would have no practical significance.
