Victoria, Hongkong,
22nd May 1848.
My predecessor in his Despatch
No 40 of the 13th March last, proposed
to
Your Lordship that in future all Public Works - should be executed by the Surveyor General,
and I now have the honor to enclose-
A
Plan
and Approximate Estimate for a Government House which have been prepared in that Department
by Mr. Cleverly, the Surveyor General. The Plan
seems well calculated for the purpose, and
appears
to offer
conveniences and comforts both suitable and essential. The more complete Estimate enumerating
the necessary details, and entering into all particulars connected with this service, will be forwarded by the next mail.
The Right Honorable The Earl Grey,
