Sir,
With reference to Admiralty letter of the 15th
June 1899, relating to 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 as the construction of the New Dock has been
sanctioned and the works are about to be commenced, My
Lords are prepared to make the following arrangements with
regard to replacing the Murray Pier and the Victoria
Recreation Club; which arrangements it is hoped will meet
the views of the Colonial Government in the matter.
1. The Admiralty to pay the Colonial Government the
sum of $24,000, the amount mentioned in the Governor's
letter of the 16th March 1899, in order that the Colony
may construct a new Pier at some site to the Westward, in
lieu of the existing Murray Pier which would then become
Admiralty property.
2. The Admiralty to re-instate the existing Victoria
Recreation Club on the site marked A on the accompanying
plan, of an area equal to the existing site, and to hand
it over
to the Members of the Club together with the
existing Murray Pier, when the new one is built, for
their boats and as a Landing Stage; the site granted by
