·K.R.A. ANNUAL MEETING

MUNICIPAL CONTROL DESIRED

The Rev. W. W. Rogers in his presidential address at the annual general meeting of the Kowloon | Residents' Association, at St. Andrew's Churck, Hall last even- ing said:

It will be seen from the report that the work of the committee has gone forward steadily throughout the year, and we present to you this record of its activities with the assurance that at least we have done what in tis lay to maintain the high standard set by our pre- decessors in office, and to serve the general interests of Kowloon re- sidents, without fear or favour. ^».

The result of all this is, that after five years we stand practi❤ cally where we did the begin- ning. The committee feels that this is a matter of urgent public importance, not only to Kowloon residents but to the Colony, and I trust that the incoming committee will not let the matter lie.
