his award in the alternative giving compensation for loss of interest and cost of reinvestment only to the extent that the Directors elect to take cash and to the extent they elect to take inscribed stock making no such allowance.
9. Having regard to section 22 of the Ordinance, we do not think that the plan suggested is feasible, and we doubt whether it would be desirable for any advances to be made pending the arbitration.

It is to be considered whether, if the Company withdraw their suggestion that they should be informed whom the Government proposes to nominate as their Arbitrator before they nominate their Arbitrator, the accompanying letter should be accepted.
Mr. Ommanney will call at three o'clock to-day to obtain your further instructions.
We have, &c.,

MR. LYTTELTON to GOVERNOR SIR J. ANDERSON. (Confidential.)
SIR,
Downing Street, May 19, 1905. WITH reference to previous correspondence, I have the honour to transmit to you, for your information, a copy of a letter from Messrs. Sutton, Ommanney and Rendall, enclosing counsel's opinion on certain points in connexion with the Tanjong Pagar Arbitration proceedings.
I would call your attention to paragraph 9 of the opinion, which deals with the question raised in your confidential despatch of the 6th April § and its enclosure.
I have, &c.,
ALFRED LYTTELTON.
DEAR SIRS,
Enclosure in No. 106.
10, Billiter Square, London, E.C., May 23, 1905.
Straits Settlements.--Tanjong Pagar Dock Company, Limited.
ADVERTING to our interviews and correspondence you may take it that the Tanjong Pagar Dock Company, Limited, agree that the appointed date referred to in Section 3 of the Ordinance should be the 1st July, and your clients can have all proper facilities for free access to the lands, works, stores, and premises or property of the Company for the purpose of inspecting the same, and also inspecting the books of the Company in London and Singapore.
It is the wish of the Dock Company that the arbitration should be commenced by the middle of October next, and proceed continuously, but we must entirely decline to bind ourselves to any particular date for appointing our Arbitrator or delivering the Company's statement of claim.
We should like to know before we definitely appoint our Arbitrator whom the Government propose to nominate as an Arbitrator, and we cannot deliver our state- ment of claim until we have reports from the Colony, and we must decline to bind ourselves down to any particular days either for the appointment of an Arbitrator or the delivery of the statement of claim, but you may take it from us that it is the wish of the Company to push on the arbitration, and we shall do all we can to facilitate the progress of the Government, but we shall expect also on the part of the Government equal facilities on their side.
Messrs. Sutton, Ommanney and Company.

SIR,
We send you copy letter which we have just received from Messrs. Druces and Attlee, the solicitors for the Company, which you will observe does not contain any assurance either that the Company's Arbitrator will be appointed by any given Whilst date, or that their statement of claim will be delivered by some fixed date. we are of opinion that the Company are not entitled to make it a condition that they should know whom the Government proposes to name as Arbitrator before they appoint their Arbitrator, we think the Company may reasonably decline to fix a date by which they will undertake to deliver their statement of claim.
GOVERNOR SIR J. ANDERSON to MR. LYTTELTON.
