Letter No.292 of 20/8/99 to Hon. C. P. Chater, C.M.G. Chairman
Jubilee Committee..
Honourable Director of Public Works..
What is the estimated cost of the section between
Shaukiwan and Aberdeen, and how much money would be required
this year towards the construction of that section - which you
recommend should first be undertaken.
You will observe from these papers and from the answer
given to Mr. Belilios' question in Legislative Council the other
day that His Excellency the Governor has decided that the section
round Mount Davis is not to be made in view of Military objections.
It remains therefore to decide what section of the road is to
be made first and from what starting point. The Hon. Treasurer of
the Jubilee Committee must be asked to furnish funds, so please
submit your recommendations and state your initial monetary
requirements.
Honourable Colonial Secretary.
(Initialed) J.G.T.B.

The Estimate for a road from Shaukiwan to Aberdeen, a distance of 12 miles is $209,538.20.
