REFUSE IN HARBOUR

The Committee viewed with a great deal of concern the many re- ports that had been received with regard to the dumping of refuse in the Harbour, particularly in Kow-

loon Bay and in the vicinity of

Stonecutters Island.

It appeared

that the Sanitary Department

barges were the chief offenders in this respect. A great deal of this flotsam was cast up at Taiwan Bay and other beacties in Kowloon and constituted a positive nuisance and menace to health. It was decided to write to the Director of Medical Services drawing his attention to this practice.

Sevenil complakats were re- ‹ceived with regard to Bus-Ser- vices, especially the lack of pas- senger accommodation on var- lous routes. Enquiries had eli- cited the fact that there were, Insuffelent buses to, take care of the Increased trafle, but that new buses were being put as as soon as possible and that there was a probability of dou- ble-deck buses being permitted on the over crowded routes. "The question of the advisability!

of having double-deck buses was

discussed, but the Committee de-

cided that they were not in a post-

tion to give an opinion as, to the safety of double-deck buses in No doubt the typhoon weather. proper authorities would take care of that. It was also thought that to typhoon weather Couble-deck buses would be put into shelter if danger threatened.

It was finally decided to write to

TRAFFIC DANGER ---

The Traffic Sub-Committee again drew attention to the danger of the grass islands in Waterloo Road between Argyle Street and Prince Edward Road. As they are at present they constitute a very grave danger to motorcar drivers at night. and especially in rainy or föggy weather.

Reference was also made to the danger occasioned by cyclists, espe- clally at right, and the Traffic Sub- Committee were instructed to in- vestigate the possibility of compul- sory of rear lights on bicycles.

The genial personality of Mr. and Mrs. Klasey and their well known hospitality and helping hand will certainly be missed in Hongkong and, indeed, shipping circles will soon feel the vacancy bis departure creates.
