GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 4th. June, 1915.
In continuation of my Confidential Despatch of the 20th. May, I have the honour to refer to the latter from the General Post Office to the Under Secretary of State No. 244291 of the 7th. March, a copy of which was enclosed in Mr. Harcourt's Confidential Despatch of the 13ta. March, 1913.
2.
In that letter it is stated that the Postmaster- -General "proposes in due course to put forward suggestions for the "re-arrangement of the incidence of the subsidy to come into "operation after the 31st. of January, 1915". In view of this
expression of the intentions of the Postmaster-General and having regard to what I have already urged in my previous Despatches on this subject, I trust that it may be found possible to relieve this Colony of at least some portion of the share of the subsidy at
present paid.
I have the honour to be.
sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Amag
Governor, &C..
