TO JUL OF

Hong Kong
Kowloon Water Supply.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 28th June, No. 21086/01 enclosing copies
of further correspondence on the subject of the proposed
new Kowloon Water Works.
We referred the papers to Mr Chadwick and I en-
close for the consideration of Mr Secretary Chamberlain a
copy of his reply, and beg to express our concurrence in
his views.
We think also, in view of the claims which offi-
cials of the Public Works Department advanced to receive
extra remuneration for their services in connection with
the Praya Reclamation Works, that it would be well that
this aspect of the question should be considered and set-
tled before the final decision of the Secretary of State
is communicated to the Colonial Government.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
The Under Secretary of State
&c.
&c.
Colonial Office.
