Taipo, 3rd May 1899.

Your Excellency.

Since writing my minute today regarding the erection of Police Stations at Taipo, Un Long and Ping Shan it has occurred to me that it would be better to build Stations at Taipo, Un Long or Ping Shan and Pati Au on the first instance. The sites selected for the Un Long and Ping Shan Stations are not far from each other, about 2.4 miles, so that if a station is erected at one of those places to begin with, the Police will be able to patrol the neighbourhood of both Un Long and Ping Shan, and the D.F.W. will be able to proceed at once with the station at Fu Tan near the frontier, a district which should be attended to as soon as possible. Of course if it were possible to erect 4 stations simultaneously, so much the better, but if only 3 can be so erected, I recommend that they be the stations at Taipo, Un Long, or Ping Shan, and Pu-ti-au, a recommendation in which I trust the C. S. P. will concur.

of Police Stations at Taipo, Un Long and Ping Shan it has

occerred to me that it would be better to build Stations at

Taipo, Un Long or Ping Shan and Pati Au on the first inst-

ance. The sites selected for the Un Long and Ping Shan Stam

tions are not far from each other about 24 miles so that if

a station is erected at one of those places to begin with

the Police will be able to patrol the neighbourhood of both

Un Long and Ping Shan, and the D.F.W.willbe able to proceed

at once with the station at Fu Tan near the frontier a dis-

trict which should be attended to as soon as possible. Of

course if it were possible to erect 4 stations simultaneous-

ly so much the better, but if only 3 can be so erected, I

recommend that they be the stations at Taipo, Un Long, or
