REG 21 JUL 29 21 July 1899.
Sir,
With reference to your letter of 14th June 1899,
No.14731/99, and to Admiralty letter of 15th June 1899, W.L.1586/1659, on the subject of the proposed extension of
the Naval Yard at Hong Kong, I am commanded by the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the
information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
that the Secretary of State for War has now concurred in
the revised scheme for the War Department Reclamation
eastward of the proposed extension of the Naval Yard as
shown on the Plan No.2 accompanying Admiralty letter of
the 15th June 1899 above referred to.
The work would be carried out by and at the cost
of the Admiralty.
My Lords would be glad to hear whether this
revised scheme will meet the views of the Colonial Office
in connection with the future Extension of the Eastern
Praya.
Under Secretary of State,
COLONIAL OFFICE,
London, S.W.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Evan MacGregor
