Enclosure 2.

8885

(RE: 12 MAY 90)

Surveyor General to Colonial Secretary.

Surveyor General's Office,

Hongkong, 15th February, 1890.

Sir,

In compliance with the instructions contained in Colonial Office Despatch No. 243 of 28th December 1889, I have the honour to forward the following modified scheme for the re-organisation of the Engineering Branch of the Public Works Department.

2. I may premise by stating that I have no alteration of importance to suggest. The staff I am about to propose will not of course include the Sanitary Branch which has been transferred temporarily to Mr. Chadwick, nor the staff for the trigonometrical survey. I should here explain that in my former recommendation for a new trigonometrical survey of the Colony, I did not contemplate that the work could be carried out with the ordinary staff of the Department, but I then thought, and still consider it desirable that the Officer appointed as Land Surveyor should be qualified to superintend the trigonometrical survey in addition to the ordinary duties.

The Honourable

The Colonial Secretary,

&c.
