With reference to Mr. (now Sir Thomas)
Southorn's confidential despatch of the 8th May, 1930,
on the subject of the Cross Harbour Pipe Line, I have
the honour to inform you that, with the work on the second
section of the Shing Mun Scheme in hand, it is desirable
that a second pipe line should be provided. In this
connection I would invite your attention to the paragraph with the marginal note "Extension Second Pipe", in the
report by Mr. R. M. Henderson, which was forwarded to you
by Sir C. Clementi under cover of his confidential
despatch of the 25th January, 1929. The first pipe
line has now been in use for more than three years and
its success fully justifies the principle of a pipe line
across the harbour.
2.
The estimated cost of the second pipe line
is $350,000 and subject to your concurrence it is proposed
to include $300,000 in the draft Estimates for 1934, under
Loan Works, (Appendix V of the 1933 Estimates).
3.
It is however necessary that further
information of a technical nature should be obtained
regarding the different types of material used in the
