A Bridge to Kowloon. The report of the Harbour Master, Com- mander MURRAY RUMSEY, B. N. from which we to-day publish some extract, is a most interesting one. One of the pinci pal features of the report is a suggestion that the time has come for Hongkong to be con nected with Kowloon by a bridge. That such a scheme will have to be put into operation sooner or later there can be very little doubt for, as Commander RUMSEY points out, the bulk of the available building land on the Island is already used up and Jome outlet for our ever increasing population; not to speak of some means of alliviat ing our overcrowding, must shortly be foard.
