Hongkong, 30th August, 1901.
In continuation of my telegram of the
28th instant, I have the honour to transmit to you the
enclosed report of the Honourable the Acting Director
of Public Works on the question of the construction of
the ground floor of the New Law Courts.
2.
In the plans furnished by the Consulting
Architects the entire ground floor is shown to be
supported on iron girders and joists, entailing a large
expenditure for no useful purpose. I accordingly recom-
mend Mr. W. Chatham's proposal for your favourable con-
sideration.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
Humble servant,
Kenny R. Baker
GOVERNOR &c.
