Public Works Office,
Hongkong, 8th. June, 1898.
Sir,
476
At the request of Mr. C. H. Gale, Chief
Draughtsman in this Department, I forward a letter in triplicate
addressed to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the
Colonies.
2.
I beg reference to C.S.0.
681
1897
in which a
similar request was recommended by my predecessor.
3.
Mr. Gale is a qualified Engineer and
naturally wishes to be designated an Engineer.
4.
+
I have of course, had no opportunity of
judging of his capabilities in charge of works of construction or
maintenance, but from his training would have no hesitation in re-
commending him for such a charge.
5.
I therefore recommend his request for
favourable consideration.
The Honourable
The Colonial Secretary.
I have etc.
(sd.) R. D. Ormsby,
Director of Public Works.
