The Hong Kong Sunday Herald (page 2) is upbeat about the progress being made:
Hong Kong has had a busy week rehabilitating itself. The endless fag up winding stairs is over with the installation of a skeleton lift service in every large building. The lifts keep going out of order but, nevertheless, most of the heart-aging climbs are over.
The trams are again running, the Star Ferry service has been extended to 10.40 p.m. from Kowloon and 11 p.m. from Hong Kong. The fllth piled up in the alleyways in Central District, and elsewhere too, is being moved away.
The cable service to Shanghai has been resumed. Prices other than for a very few commodities are on the downward incline. The Hong Kong dollar is rehabilitating itself against all currencies and is rising in purchasing power. And, to say the least, the Dairy Farm has re-introduced Coca Cola, though at the tear-provoking price of $1.50 a bottle.
