sir,

With reference to paragraph 6 of your
Despatch No. 300 of the 12th. September last, in which you
stated that the conditions upon which Mr. Ho Tung consented to
confine his School in Kowloon to the children of European
British parentage only, should be strictly carried out, I
have now the honour to inform you that I have caused plans
to be draw up for the new School for Chinese and have given
instructions for the work to be put in hand this year.
2.
As planned, the School will accommodate
about 180 pupils, and will cost $21,000. Of this sum the
Director of Public Works considers that he will be able to
spend $6,000 this year, and I have authorised a vote to be
taken in Legislative Council for this amount. The balance will
be provided for in the Estimates for next year.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Koruny alshabe
Governor, &c..
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHALIBERLAIN, M.P.,
