With regard to the ment vans, perhaps Mr. Braga was not aware of the fact that they already had- four meat vans working regularly. A suggestion was made to the

Board a year and a half ago to increase this number by running as many again in order, that the facilities which now existed for beef should be extended to pork, but the Committee felt that they should first finish off their refuse lorry programme-a very extensive business-and then face the meat van problem in a few years to

come.

As to the Kowloon Tong market, the Committee had considered this question but from the information at its disposal were not prepared to include it in their recommenda- tions. He had already given Mr. Braga an undertaking that when there had been more consideration of the whole question of site and other mutters, which would take possibly a week or two, the matter would be brought before the full Board for consideration in ample time for a supplementary recom mendation for the 1928 estimates.
