We thank you for your letter of the 12th inst., and in reply, we beg to inform you, that under the regulations of the 7th of November, issued by the Government of Hong Kong, they inserted a rule in Section 2 ordering the Petroleum Oil Tanks erected should be covered by an entirely independent roof, constructed in a substantial manner. At the time, we protested very strongly indeed against this regulation and although our protest was ignored by the Government of Hong Kong, we are pleased to say the Government of the Straits, who had already seen how unnecessary this precaution was in Singapore, allowed us to erect the tanks in Penang without putting the extraneous roofing over them. Our Hong Kong friends find it absolutely necessary to now erect further storage there, and we have proposed to the Government that if they will waive the roofing, we will provide new tanks with water-tops, which are so constructed as to carry always six inches of water in a double top, which is
