Office and the Office of Works, on the subject of the proposed trigonometrical survey of Hongkong, and to inform Your Lordship that having laid your despatch before the Executive Council I was advised that the recommendations of the Director of the Ordnance Survey should be adopted and that the work should be carried out.
Enclosure 1. 5th April, 1890. I approve of Your Lordship's proposals as to the shares which the War Office, Admiralty, and Colonial Government should bear in the undertaking.
I enclose copy of a minute by the Surveyor General relative to Your Lordship's proposals in this matter from which you will observe that Mr. W. Brown generally concurs in your suggestions contained in your despatch, although he is not in favour of the survey being made independently of local control. He thinks that the work should be carried out by Officers of the Royal Engineers possessing the requisite training, in which opinion I concur.
