年級的纂輯,有類为百科全書而無其包羅的宏富。百科全書以學術研究做中心,来凡知 織所必需,加大不捐,實為學術的進酒。拿年鑑來相比:則年鑑似有遜色!年鑑以人事動態 做中心,範圍祇在一年内,部門有限,題材自少。然人事萬變,一年三百六十五天裡面,波 譎雲詭的現象,無時不表現其熙讓給似的狀態,投其經過,詳其源委,雖非身歷當時,開卷 一隻,各項演變亦朗若列間,故素輯而存之,誠為歷史有做的文献,可供後人的參。是年 敘的為用,貢獻於文化上,自有其炳耀的地位在。
纂輯年體,取材各有不同,如:教育年鑑、經濟年鑑,則以一個部門為研究中心,備專 自學者的參政,這是屬於專門性質的;又如:中國年鑑、中報年鍍,取材不限於一個部門, 编纂高多方面的便述,這是牲種比較廣泛一點的。然而香港年鑑以地名冠諸篇首,因之內容 選擇,自不能不側重於香港,亦為事有必至之势。故此香港年鑑雖屬廣泛取材,但不能不帶 點偏重性質,這是習婚年鉅的特長建

PART I. SCOPE OF THE REPORT.
ПУН
1. Planning proposals, whether for a whole country, a region, a town or a village are usually and naturally divided into short and long term: there are certain obvious reforms or reconstructions which should be put in hand at once and for which a limited fund of money may be made available: these proposals usually take the form of actual works to be done and are not concerned with that sort of planning which governs the lines of the natural growth of the community. Thus the Colonial Office under the Colonial Development & Welfare Scheme of 1945 allotted one million pounds to Hong Kong, which was to cover developments prepared over a period of ten years.
|
2. The present Report, however, was not to be limited in this way, and was intended to cover long term policies as well as short, including the direction to be given to private enterprise in order that its operations may fall into some general and agreed form of planned development. It is usually accepted that 50 years ahead is as far as any plan can be expected to foresee, and it may be taken that the short term will comprise the first ten years of this period: but under a Development Plan the works executed during this first stage will not be limited to Government and State-aided schemes. It should also be remarked at the outset that the most recent theory of planning does not assume a final and finite plan passed in all its details as a
Town Planning Scheme' (as was the case under the 1932 Town Planning Act), but a plan of Development' using the word in its strict sense and allowing for revision from time to time in the light of changing requirements and technical accomplishment.

ANNUAL REPORT
1. During the year 1947-48 there were frequent staff changes in the Public Relations Office. Two caretaker Public Relations Officers, Mr. George White and Mr. J. H. B. Lee, took charge of the department until the arrival in September of Wing Com- mander A. H. Marsack. Owing to ill-health, Wing Commander Marsack was forced to resign his post in March, 1948. Mrs. E. N. Davis, Assistant Press Relations Officer, then took over as Acting Public Relations Officer until the end of the year. However in spite of all these changes the affairs of the department took on a definite shape while the policy of the department began to make itself felt. As well as the routine work of contact between the Government and the Public in all matters relating to Government policy, advancements along the planned line of development, similar to those of Public Relations in most of the other Colonies were becoming effective. It must be recorded that limitations of staff caused a serious curtailment in the scope of development.
