HONGKONG,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
6th November, 1933.

on 138581.
I have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your Confidential despatch of 20th
September, 1933, regarding the question of providing
a second pipe line across Hong Kong Harbour in
connection with the Shing Mun Valley Water Works Scheme
at an estimated cost of $350,000, and conveying your
approval of the inclusion of $300,000 in the draft
Estimates for 1934 under Loan Works.
2.
It will be observed that in Appendix V(B) on page 114 of the draft Estimates for 1934,
copies of which were forwarded to you in my despatch
No. 504 of 4th October, 1933, the estimated cost of
this work is given as $375,000 and the estimated
expenditure for 1934 $323,000. The reason for these
increases is that the original estimates did not include
provision for executive and administration charges.
3.
I shall be glad if the estimates as so
amended may receive your approval.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,
