CIRCULAR.
SIR,
Downing Street,
22nd September, 1882.
I have the honour to inform you that a set of Tide Tables are being
prepared at the Nautical Almanac Office, in London, for the Government of
Hong Kong at a cost of £62 2s. Od. for the first year, and for subsequent years
at an annual cost of £27 2s. Od.
It is expected that these tables will prove of the greatest value
to the Public Works and Harbour Departments of Hong Kong, and as the
expense is not great, it has occurred to me that your Government may think
it worth while to consider the desirability of procuring similar tables, if they
do not already exist in the Colony.
The Officer Administering
the Government of
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
KIMBERLEY.
