ONE of the biggest building operations ever AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS

undertaken in Hongkong, will, I learn, be launched in the near future by the War Office. The scheme, which calls for an expenditure exceeding $20,000,000, envisages the construction of a miniature city in the outskirts of Kowloon. The buildings, when com. pleted, will provide accommodation for the British forces stationed in Hongkong.

Expenditure will be spread over a number of years, and will commence shortly with the calling of tenders for the construction of the first part of the works contained in the programme.

Site Chosen

I understand that the site for this gigantic building has already been chosen. Construction of the new barracks will entail the resumption of certain properties and consequent compensation to the owners. The area, however, is not a densely settled one.

Completion of the project, which entails an expenditure un- paralleled in modern building activity in this Colony, will taice several years.

The scheme envisages an increase in the garrison at Hong- kong from the present strength of four battalions to six battalions, This increase, it is understood, will take place as soon as accom- modation is available in the new barracks,

Construction of the new barracks will most likely entail a reorganisation of the present arrangements for accommodating troops.

Although no official statement can be obtained regarding thei future of Shamshuipe Camp, it seems hardly likely that, with the construction of new barracks, this site will be required any further by the military authorities.

It is noteworthy that the Shamshuipo reclamation, which was carried out by the Hongkong Government, was for a purpose entirely dis-associated with the Military authorities, and it seems probable that Government will resume the site as soon as the new accommodation is available.

Nathan Road Mule Barracks

Of more interest to Kowloon residents is the fate of the Indian barracks and mule stables in Nathan Road.

The authorities, I understand, contemplate the removal of these stables to the outskirts of Kowloon.

The site, however, will be retained for military purposes. On the island, the Mt. Austin Barracks on the Peak, and the Murray Barracks in Queen's Road, will most likely be retained as at present.

Although the Seaforth Highlanders are due to arrive in Hongkong from Palestine before the end of the year they will not increase the present garrison of the Colony, since they are merely relieving the 2nd Battalion of the Lancashire Regiment.

No great increase in Hongkong's garrison will take place .until suitable accommodation is available. It is noteworthy, however, that periodic increases have been made in the garrison strength during the past few years,
