Sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter No.65 of 14th August, 1937, with enclosures on the subject of the development
of Whampoa Port.
2.
No dredging in the waters of this Colony
would be necessary to enable a ship of twenty four
feet draft to proceed to Whampoa by way of Kap
Sing Mun, so that the question of assistance in
this respect does not arise.
3.
The question of collecting light dues
in accordance with section 32 and Table P. of
Ordinance 10 of 1899 could no doubt be amicably
arranged in due course.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
(SD) N.L.SMITH
Officer Administering the Government.
His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General,
His Britannic Majesty's Consulate General,
