REGE 30 JUN 13
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 9th. June, 1913.
With reference to paragraph 2 of your Despatch 1/854 No. 116 of the 30th. April, I have the honour to state that the
following houses which now remain in existence received the letter
of the 27th. February, 1911, viz.:- the Imperial and the New
Travellers. The following houses which also remain in existence,
received the original notice of 17th. October, 1910, viz.:- the
Grand, the Criterion and the Central. All the other houses in
question have gone out of business. I am unable, however, for my
part, to see sufficient reason in the circumstances to justify
different treatment of these two groups; but, unless you desire to
reconsider your instructions, I shall carry out the directions
which you have given with regard to payment of compensation.

I regret that in my Despatch of the 30th. of
August, 1912, the Central, which is only a bar, was by a mis-
-understanding omitted from the enumeration of houses which at
that time were open.
