In reply to your telegram of the
3let ultimo, I have the honour to state that the Imperial
Maritime Custome has never made any proposal for a tramway
tunnel from the South of the island into Victoria and that
I am at a loss to understand the allusion made to that
department in Your Lordship's telegram.
2.
Chevalier R. Pescio, an Italian
who has on several occasions passed through the Colony,
submitted in February, 1906, a proposal for such a tunne1
and repeated his proposal in July, 1909: but the project
is not at present regarded seriously.
3.
I am not aware of any particular
schemes for the development of Aberdeen.

THE EARL OF CREWE,
