With reference to your despatch No. 52 Commercial of
the 10th October last, with regard to the proposal to estab-
lish wireless telegraphic communication between Hong Kong and
Macao, I have to inform you that it has been ascertained
that there is no room for two low power stations at Hong
Kong and that Mr. Robert Taylor has already been refused a
license by the Colonial Office in accordance with the
recommendation of the Committee on landing rights for
Submarine Cables. The Colonial Office however see no
objection to an extension of the license for the Hong Kong
station to admit of communication with Macao, provided
that suitable arrangements can be made between the Portu-
guese Government and the Eastern Extension Telegraph
Company, who are to work the station at Hong Kong.
