THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MAY 8, 1931.
The Colonial Secretary replied as follows:--
1. The answer to the first question is in the affirmative.
259
2. With regard to the second, the Government considers that the residential areas of Kowloon are adequately lighted. The portion of Waterloo Road in which the accident occurred is not yet completed and, as an uncompleted road, motorists should use it with caution. The covering of the nullah is being extended eastwards as rapidly as funds permit, and in due course the roadway will be opened to the full width now possessed by the section going to the east of the railway.
