COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 23rd June, 1888.

SIR,

Referring to previous correspondence ou the subject of the proposed Praya Reclamation, I have the honour, by direction of the Governor to apprise you, for the information of the marine lot-owners concerned, that the preliminary surveys of the foreshore and sea-bed, undertaken by their desire have now been com- pleted. The plans and estimates connected with this work are sent herewith.

The prolonged rainy weather during the beginning of the year, and the necessarily laborious nature of the investigations rendered it impracticable to com- plete these surveys at an earlier date.

In accordance with the desire of many of the lot-owners, the survey has been divided into seven sections, which owing to differences in the depth of water and in the configuration of the present frontage shew corresponding differences in the expense of the reclamations relatively to the areas of land reclaimed. This dis- crepancy is however to a certain extent neutralised by the fact that, speaking generally, the reclamation will be most costly where the reclaimed land is likely to be most valuable.

The estimates of the cost of reclaiming the several sections, exclusive in each case of the Government reclamation, are as follows:-
