26 RECO & REGO 27 JUN 19
Your Excellency,
Taipo, 8th May, 1899.
5184.
With reference to my minute of even date forwarding a table of the proposed districts and sub-districts on the mainland of the New Territory, I have the honour to recommend that each sub-district be furnished with a British flag to be hoisted every day in some conspicuous place in the sub-district.
Each Island of any size should also be furnished with a flag to be hoisted in a similar manner.
J. H. Stewart Lockhart,
Colonial Secretary.
