·would themselves be obliged to undertake such partial dredging as might be necessary to secure the safety of large ships entering their Docks; that up to the present no complaint had been made regarding the depth of water in the harbour from any firm of shipping Merchants or others interested in ocean traffic; and that it might therefore be concluded that the necessity though fully recognised was not yet a pressing one in respect of commercial interests. It was at the same time fully conceded that before long the Colony would have to face the necessity of setting aside a very large sum annually for the purpose of keeping the harbour properly dredged; but that the larger portion of the Revenues of the Colony would probably be required for some time to come in connection with questions of Public Health including schemes for increasing the water supply and sanitation, which were recognised to be of immediate and vital necessity to the prosperity and welfare of the Colony. Moreover, as it appeared to be of great importance to the Navy that at least certain portions of the harbour should be dredged, and as the Vice-Admiral had himself acknowledged that as a Naval base in the Far East, Hongkong was of indispensable imperial importance, it was urged on behalf of the Colonial Government that the Admiralty should, when the time came, take its full share in providing funds for so costly an undertaking.
The Vice-Admiral pointed out that though the proposal for removing shoals in the harbour did in a sense emanate from the Navy, it was put forward in order to show that the real though perhaps at first undiscerned cause of the wish to improve the lighting of the harbour waters was a connection of the dangers due to the existence of shoal water in certain places within it. His Excellency laid stress on the fact that had there been perfectly clear water inside, the proposals to improve the lighting, which had been referred to him would not have been made,
His Excellency also declined to admit that the object of the builders of the new deep docks already referred to would be met by deepening the immediate approaches to the docks. It might be taken as certain that they were providing, a time when very large ships would frequent the port and be likely to find docks capable of receiving them a necessity. His view was that while it would be a convenience to the Navy to have the area of deep water in Hongkong harbour increased, it was vital to the future prosperity of the port that the increasing size of Merchant Steamers should be recognised in time, as it had been probably in every other great port in the world. After some discussion it was unanimously agreed that the Government should communicate on the matter with the Chamber of Commerce, informing them that His Excellency the Vice-Admiral had expressed the conviction that it would be necessary to dredge the harbour in the very remote future, especially in the eastern part of it.
