I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
13315/1900. 8th May 1900, transmitting copies of a letter from the
Governor and of a Memo. from the Director of Public Works
relative to the replacement of the Murray Pier and the
Victoria Yacht Club, rendered necessary by the proposed
extension of the Naval Yard at Hong Kong, and in reply thereto
I am to acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary
of State, that My Lords agree to the proposals contained
therein.
The extension of the present Murray Pier to form a
new site for the Victoria Yacht Club will be carried out by
the Admiralty in connection with the Dockyard Extension Works;
but it is considered preferable that the rebuilding of the
Yacht Club itself should be carried out, either by the Club
or by the Colonial Authorities, the Admiralty paying a lump
sum, as in the case of the New Murray Pier.
I am to ask therefore, that the Secretary of State
will cause an estimate to be obtained of the cost of reinstating
the Yacht Club, such estimate being agreed to by the
Admiralty Local Officers as fair and reasonable, and
forwarded to Their Lordships for consideration.
It is assumed that on completion of the New Yacht
Club, the site of the existing Club will become Admiralty Ender Secretary of State,
COLONIAL OFFICE,
property.
