Re Hong Kong Water Works Ordinances.
Gentlemen,
In reply to your letter of yesterday's date,
I have the honour to state that I am engaged in writing my
Report on the Hong Kong Water Ordinance, and that I hope to
have it completed in the course of a week or so.
I may say that the Ordinance, as it stands, is not one to which
the Royal Assent should be given, and with your permission
I will consider the alterations that are necessary to make
it a really workable enactment. I doubt whether any time
will be gained by submitting a report on the Ordinance, without
some suggestions as to its amendment.
I have …
(Sd) Osbert Chadwick
