The bowling alley of the Kowloon Hotel is now being pulled down to make room for the block of shops which Mr. Dorabjee Is erecting in Elgin Road, Kowloon. When these and the block now being erected by the Wharf and Godown Company are completed, Elgin Road will be practically filled up, no more building sites being available, and the “men of bricks and mortar” will have to go in search of fresh localities to cover with their by no means elegant edifices. It is to be hoped that Chinese shops and houses will not be allowed to encroach further upon the European area in Kowloon, or one of the greatest recommendations of that suburb will be lost for ever and ever.
