Last July, it was rumored that the government authorities planned to tear down the mountain gate of the temple to build a road. Local Chinese society logically defended their position, and convinced the local government to cannel the proposal. Also at this time, Chunghua Association president Kuo Ho-yao of the recontructionists resigned saying he had lost his public support, leaving the association presidency vacant.
去年七月間，又一度傳出政府當局為拓寬馬路要拆除古廟的山門，後來華社據理力爭，說服地方政府打消此念；而重建派的中華公會會長郭鶴堯卻在此時以無法服眾為由辭職，使會長職位虛懸。
