I have the honour to address you on the subject
of dredging in the vicinity of the Hong Kong and Kowloon
Wharf and Godown Company's piers on the western side of
Kowloon Point. The area in question forms part of that which was dredged in 1927/1928, in which connection please
see Mr. Amery's Confidential telegrams of the 9th and 14th
Encl. No. 1. April, 1927, and the enclosed plan.

2. In 1924 the Godown Company approached Government
with a view to obtaining permission to construct a pier to
the north of their existing piers. The matter was
deferred pending the report by Mr. J. Duncan on the Commercial Development of the Port of Hong Kong.
Thereafter
the Strike and Boycott of 1925 intervened. The Company took up the matter again in 1926, but, owing to their being
unable to come to an agreement with the Naval Authorities,
whose use of the Naval Camber to the immediate north would
have been interfered with by the construction of the
proposed new pier, they temporarily abandoned this project,
and proposed instead to erect a pier and godown at the
Railway
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,
