THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JUNE 4, 1910.
(c.) Pid His Excellency Sir Frederick Lugard accurately state the intentions of the Government when, on the 28th October, 1909, he said in this Council, in reply to a question whether the Government would undertake to have the plot in question cleared and made presentable as soon as it was no longer necessary to the work on the Law Courts and Post Office to maintain it in its present untidy state: the present intention of the Government is to clear the plot as soon as it can be done”?
The Colonial Secretary replied.
In view of the extensive destruction of trees caused by the recent hillside fires in the vicinity of Aberdeen, and the circumstance that many of these separate con- flagrations occurred simultaneously-some on this island, and others on the island of Ap-li-chau-will the Government inform the Council what steps have since been taken to guard against woodland incendiarism among the villagers and bootpeople of this particular district?
