Sixth Annual

PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION

FOR HONGKONG

OFFICIAL SCHEME,

His Excellency the Governor has been informed from many quarters of a general desire that Hong Kong should possess a worthy Memorial to His late Majesty, King George V.

1

In the United Kingdom the National Memorial, with royal approval, will take the form of Playing Fields. ⚫throughout the country with suitable commemorative entrance gates. Members of the fighting Services in this. Colony are subscribing to this Home memorial, and any civilians who desire to contribute are reminded that remittances should be addressed to The King George National Memorial Fund, The Mansion House, London, E.C.4".

At the present time of. economic depression it-is unlikely that sufficient money could be raised in this Colony for the purchase of large areas for playing fields. The Executive Council has therefore had under most careful consideration the preparation of a plan which, while identical in its main purpose and conception with the Home Scheme, will, carry with it an assurance of immediate practical success and of popular acceptance. The scheme which has emerged is that "Government should preserve for public parks with children's play- grounds two open spaces, one in Victoria and the other in Kowloon. Both the proposed areas adjoin congested districts, and any possible doubts as to their potential recreativa and hygienic value will be speedily dispelled by an evening visit to the existing Southom Playing Ground at Wantsal.

The area selected for Victoria is the beautiful garden of the present Government Civil Hospital, which will no longer be required when the Queen Mary Hospital The Maternity Block and Medical opens next year. Officer's quarters can be demolished and there will then be room for three playgrounds and (if funds permit) for a paddling pool, without encroachment on the fine lawn that already exists. The many lovely trees, which luckily escaped mutilation by the recent typhoon, would of course be preserved in any future layout.

In Kowloon there is a sufficiently large unalienated space at the, Northern end of Canton Road just before it joins Jordan Road. It contains at present some rocky hummocks but, given funds, these can be easily levelled off or converted into terrace gardens. More would have to be done here than at he Civil Hospital, but there is no reason why an equally useful and pleasant result can be should not emerge.. If, however, this area exchanged for one even more suitable the Government' will consider such an exchange,

The Government's contribution to the scheme will be the preservation of these areas as open spaces, their preparation and equipment depending upon public subscription. The crection of commemorative archos or gates, as under the Home Scheme, would doubtless meet with general approval buf (although tentative sketch-plans are being got out) the local Scheme is not yet tied to any set design. All subscriptions will be handed over to the Urban Council, and with them will lie the responsibility of getting the fullest value for money in the lay-out, equipment and beautification of both areas. It is considered that future maintenance would be a fair charge on urban revenues and voluntary subscriptions will therefore be utilised entirely on initial development..

The Governor earnestly invites subscriptions to this “Scheme," which should be paid into the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce or the Tung Wah Hospital. His Excellency is most grateful to these institutions for this service of collection. Cheques should be made payable to "King George V Memorial Fund" and crossed. In launching this appeal, the Governor hopes that the Scheme will commend itself as strongly to the general public as it does to his colleagues on the Executive Council and Finance Com- mittee and to himself, and that it will meet with a truly generous response. The receipt of donations will be acknowledged in the newspapers, by kind permission of the Editors.
