The quantity required for the Shing Mun Gorge Dam is estimated
at nearly 600,000 bags and the difference in cost involved
should the present prices be approximately maintained is in
the neighbourhood of one million dollars.
The matter will receive very careful consideration
when the time comes for calling for tenders. It would
appear however that the ultimate choice will be between Japanese cement and the product of the Green Island Cement
Company in which case it will be necessary for the Government
to weigh the claims of the local Company as against those of
the local taxpayer.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
W.D. Southoth
Officer Administering the Government.
