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 us lay to maintain the "high standard set by our pre- decessors in office, and to serve the general interests of "Kawloon re- sidents, without fear or favour.

·Our position ia somewhat anomalous. We are a self-con- stituted body, with no official status, yet we form practically the only means whereby the collective feelings of the community on this side of the harbour can be voiced, In these democratle times, I can not think it is entirely a healthy thing that a community of this size should be debarred from any exer- cise of their civic responsibilities, and I should like to express full concurrence in the hope voiced by one of our past presidents, Mr. C. M. Manners, that the Government will recognise the wisdom of grant- ing some kind of municipal control

The result of all this is, that after five years we stand practi- cally where we did at 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 lic,

That there is need for prompt action is evident. The school is the only one of its class for Brit- tish children, applicants are being turned away, and the present school where some 250 boys and xirls are educated, is described in the report of the Retrenchment Commission as "a jumbled up col- lection of wooden huts with no proper school amenities". general feeling is that, the school, as it at present stands. is a dis- grace to the Colony, and I cannot think that the Government is aware of the strength of feeling which exists on the part of the parents whose children have no option but to attend it.
