(c) That further endeavours be made to stamp out piracy.

(d) The cheapening of rents by opening new building areas with means of conveyance by ferries and trams.

(e) The reduction of market rents to such a level as will provide just sufficient funds to cover interest on capital and working expenses. Markets should not be a source of profit.

(f) The encouragement of foreign ladies to make their own purchases by having the markets kept clean and by clearing the passages of loafers.

The Committee further recommended that an attempt be made to encourage the breeding of cattle in the New Territories and that an attempt be also made to induce villagers to grow vegetables and rear poultry. The Committee considered that the soil in the New Territories would be suitable for the production of potatoes. It was suggested that, attached to each police station, there should be a European gardener whose business it would be to cultivate vegetables as an object lesson to the surrounding natives and to provide them with seed imported by the Government.
