Hunghom, rows of shops are in course of erection on either side, the road is narrow, and any widening of it which is deemed desirable at some futuro date will be most expensive probably prohibitive as it would necessitate the resumption of privately owned lands. In this connection of course the bug bear of expense inimediately crops up. We A. S. WATSON & CO., shall be told that the Colony cannot afford to lay out broad roads everywhere. Truc,, the cost would be great, but why should the whole width of the road be laid out in the first instance ? So far as we can see it would be quite feasible to reserve a broad road THE RAIN still seems to hold off despite the space, lay out a narrow road, adequate to very promising locking clouds which have been present requirements, down the middle of it in evidence for the last day or two.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Roads and Streets. The question of roads and streets, is one' which requires very careful consideration in every growing or new settlement. Here, in Hongkong we have secu how detrimental to the general welfare of the puplic is a niggardly provision of read and street space in the first instance, for the narrow streets and lanes of the Culony, although no doubt quite wide enough in the early days of little traffic and one storey houses, are now quite inadequate to accommodate the in-

Had our streets been laid out in the first instance of a reasonable width, much of the present overcrowding and congestion would have been avoided. Take, for instance Queen's Road. The only portion of this thoroughfare really adequate to the traffic of the present day is that from the City Hall to Arsenal Street, which has been widened by the absorption of Naval and Military lands. The remaining portions of this street, extending cast and west, are sadly in need of widening, but as the property on. either side is privately owned the cost of resuming sufficient to widen the street would be prohibitive. In consequence of the short- sightedness on the part of those who origin- ally laid out the town we have a main street down which a tramway could never be laid, for there would not not be room for it with out upsetting the whole of the present
traffic.

The Colonial Secretary, in reply, laid on the table a minute by H. E. the Governor with a copy of a despatch forwarded to the Secretary of State and the report of the Committee and an extract from the China Mail on the maller.
