21st March, 1940.
With reference to your telegram No. 110
of 15th March, 1940, regarding the proposed Tai Lam
Chung Valley storage reservoir, I have the honour
to transmit herewith particulars of boreholes Nos.
1 and 2 on the line of the proposed lower dam site.
I am advised that the latest information
regarding the upper dam site is disappointing, the
fault having been intercepted by a bore 150 feet
upstream from the original centre line.
3.
Borings on the lower dam site will be
proceeded with as expeditiously as possible and
further particulars will be sent as soon as they
are available. A plan of the site shewing
borehole positions will be forwarded by next week's
air mail.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
d.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
MALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,

Governor.
