upon the whole

are

inclined to believe that

it would not be advisable

to establish Government Printers at Hong Kong

The experience which they have had in the other British Colonies,

economical to contract,

even at a

high

rate, for

the execution of the printing which is required for the Government than to look out for persons from the Community, and to form an establishment at the public expense.

Under these circumstances, they are of opinion that they should call for

tenders from the persons

residing in the European settlements in China, and should make a contract

258

with the establishment

which may offer

the lowest terms and hold out the best prospect of executing the Government printing satisfactorily

in a

proper

manner.
