KRA'S SUGGESTION TO.

GOVERNMENT.

At the June meeting of the Gen- eral Committee of the Kowloon Residents Association, many items of interest to the Pentaula in general were discussed.

The primary business before the meeting was a report from the special sub-committee appointed last month to investigate the ques- tion of bathing facilities in Kow- loon, with particular reference to the provision of bathing pools. The committee reported that the only beaches avaliable for public hathing within reasonable distance of the urban areas were those at Tal Wan and Laichikok, and even If these beaches, were equipped with facilities for bathing they would still fall far short of the needs of the Peninsula in this very important public utility. Rc- ference was made to the fact that over 3,000 people had attended the recent opening of a private bath- Ing club matshed at North Point, and this evidence of the popularity of sea bathing among the com- The sub- munity commented on. committee had the benefit of ex- pert technical advice as to the con struction of bathing pools, and had formed the opinion that, these represent the only method of pro- viding the Iarge population of Kowloon with adequate facilities for ЯCA water bathing. They therefore recommended the pro- vision of at least three of these pools, one in the vicinity of Kow- loon Point, one on the West and one on the East side of the Pen- insula.

It was agreed to submit this pro- posal to Government, pointing out that the provision of public bath- ing fneflities, especially in a com- munity where they can be arrang- ed for so easily and are practically a necessity. was undoubtedly n municipal matter, and that finan- cial stringency in the way, as the

should not be a lowed to stand expenditure would be almost en- tirely a dollar, as opposed to a sterling, commitment. and could be financed by means of a foun just as municipal bodies do at home. The opinion was express- ed that even if charges for the use of such pools were kept at nominui figures, the scheme would un- doubtedly finance itself in time,

A lengthy report was submilled Į by the sub-commnitize who have for The past two months been investi- rating the alleged dumping of New Territory produce through inabi- lity of the farmers to obtain a market, a request for information on this point having been made to member of the Committee of the Association by the Secretary for Chinego Affairs. In their report, the sub-committee stated that ex- haustive enquiries into the general distribution of vegetable producé had been made and responsible
