to the works at Kowloon, these are for the most part being executed
by the Crown Tenants, and as
they consist of a long
Continuous
Sea wall, with reclamation of ground at the back; it is obvious that the whole work which
is being carried out by the same Contractors should proceed at one and the same time, whether
the Ground adjoining be in the hands of the Government or of private individuals.

In connection with and in illustration of the above remarks,
I have the honor to forward for
C 351
your Lordship's sanction the Report and Estimates for 1867 - 4 to 18 - inclusive, and supplementary Reports and Estimates 19 and 20.
Supplementary Report and Estimate No. 20 of 1867 is for repairs to the damage to Public Buildings caused by the Gunpowder Explosion reported to your Lordship in my
Despatch No. 201 of 30th Ultimo. By next mail, I shall have the honor to give further particulars of the present financial condition of the Colony which has rendered the adoption of the
Inclosed reduced estimates necessary.
