H.E. SIR REGINALD EDWARD STUBBS.
KNIGHT COMMANDER OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED ORDER OF ST. MICHAEL AND ST, GEORGE.
Your Excellency,
4-The early abolition of all re trictions introduced owing to the exigencies of War-ercept in so far as they relate (subject to Imperial Decree to the non-adinission of Ger- mans into our Colobyand, in particular, the Regulations regarding Import and Export Permits, which, it is widely felt, tend to cause great inconvenience to the General Public and inflict hardship on the Chiese,
5-The need for an important highpowered Commercial Wireless Telegraph Station.
6-The Colony's War Memorial.
The facilities to be given for the encouragement of Aerial Trans part, with all its great commercial possibilities.
The early completion of the Praya East Reclaration!
9.-The resumption of the Military Establishments on Queen's Road..
10-A thorough investigation into- the present system of searching pas- sengers, and their age, on their arriv in, and departures from the Colony, with a ew to the introduce tion of improved methods in that relation, and partiBatly the estab lishment of direct European super- vision, whereby, The hardships present endured many hitances may be removed.
11-The increase of the Police Force, particularly of the European Contingent thereof, to such an extent as to render that Force efficient to cope with the needs of the Colony..
12-The provision of Bandstands and of thore Open Spaces which may sufficiently serve as Recreation Grounds for the residents of the Colony.
។
13. The maintenance of a fully equipped Bandrind String Orchestra under European direction to provide a long-felt want.
14. The encouragement of Agri- culture by the improvement of excist- ing Communications with the outlying Islands and New Territories..
15-The greater. Encouragement of Private Enterprise in the outlying Districts of the Colopy and the New Territories, more particularly with regard to the terms concerning the sale cf Land, and the abolition of the hampering restrictions, resulting in vexatious delays in that connec- tion.
Lasu though it is not therefore to be regarded as the least important of our problems we trust that you may be pleased to direct your atten- tion to the present Constitution of the Colony and the system of Repre sentation in its Councils regarding which, Public Opinion is divided; but we are confident that under your guidance, a satisfactory solu tion of this as of other questions will result.
