The Crown Agents for the Colonies in forwarding
the tenders for the steel and immwork for Kowloon Market
for my examination and report, have informed me that you
are in this country and have furnished me with your address.
I gather that you will not be visiting London at
present and I am the re fo re sending you under separate regis-
tered cover a print of one of the Contract Drawings, No.
1394, as well as your two original Colonial Drawings, from
which on comparison you will observe that in working out the
details of the cantilever brackets supporting the cornice
round a portion of the top of the building it has been found
desirable to build out these brackets from the main compound
roof girders, and also in that portion of the cornice on the
other side of the building where such for of connection is
not possible, it has been found desirable to introduce an
8" x 6" joist extending from the internal wall over the outer
wall, its projecting end forming the necessary support to the
comice at this point, this joist being'in addition to the
12" x 5" and 15" x 5" joists shewn on the Colonial drawing.

I would ask you to be good enough to return the drawings
now sent to you, with any comments thereon you may wish to make,
