Will you be good enough to invite His Excel- -loney's attention to this matter, which appears to us to be of sufficient public importance to merit departure from the usual routing.
On 15th. June last Our Mr. Bowley called on Mr. Chatham and showed him a survey of a site overlooking Deep Water Bay upon which the Hongkong Hotel Company Limited is desirous of erecting a small but up-to-date and first class Hotel, to be managed in connection with the Hongkong Hotel. The scheme includes running a service of motor cars from the main hotel to its branch for the use of patrons, and the use of a portion of the bench at Deep Water Bay for bathing.
