GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONG KONG, 19th November, 1931.
Sir,
In accordance with Article XXVI(8) of the
Royal Instructions, I have the honour to forward the
accompanying copy of a bill intituled "An Ordinance
to authorise and validate the construction and
maintenance of piers, reclamations and other public
works in connection with the foreshore and sea bed
or Crown land covered with water".
2.
This ordinance has been drafted with the
immediate object of authorising work now being
carried on in connection with the Vehicular Ferry;
but since other large schemes of a similar nature are
in contemplation it has been considered advisable to
obtain general authority rather than to introduce
particular legislation in each instance.
3.
The opportunity has been taken to introduce
into the bill a Section based upon Section 74 of the Harbours Docks and Piers Clauses Act, 1847, the object
of which is especially the protection of the pipe line bringing water across the harbour to the town of
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,
&c.,
