Office to the local Government
on the to May last when
the
powers and privileges of Her Majesty's Postmaster
General in relation to Post Office or Post communications
ceased and
in Hongkong determined, I do myself the honor to submit for the consideration of His Excellency the Governor
whether or not any
necessity exists for passing
such an Ordinance, and
that it should embody
so much
of the acts of
Parliament as are necessary
for maintaining the Post-
Office here, and
for conferring
upon the Colonial Postmaster General the powers, rights,
and privileges which
were
vested in him whilst the
Office
was under the control
of the Imperial Government, together with such additional stipulations as local circumstances may require
and with this view I would
suggest that an application should be made to the Right Honorable The Secretary of State for the Colonies for copies of the Acts passed
in
