Accommodation, for constructing a small harbour for the protection of junks from typhoons, for carrying out various other urgently required Public Works and for interest on a loan for constructing the Railway from Kowloon to the confines of the British Territory. It will, however, probably be advisable to put in hand from the commencement of the year 1906 dredging works, sufficient to prevent further diminution of the deep water area in the Harbour and with this in view I should like to have Messrs. Coode, Son and Matthews' observations on Mr. Boulton's Report.
7. If you agree with me that this Report, prepared in the intervals of dealing with many pressing and important matters in the Public Works Department, evidences much research and work and is a valuable document I shall be glad if you will allow me so to inform Mr. Boulton.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
M. Nathan
Governor, &c.
