1. In accordance with the terms of a Resolution passed unanimously by the Hong Kong Jubilee Committee, at a meeting held on the 15th August last, I have the honour to address you on the subject of the proposed construction of a road from Kennedy Town to Aberdeen, which was decided upon as one of this Colony's Memorials of My Most Gracious Majesty's 60 years reign.

2. The necessity for appealing to you in the matter has arisen principally through the action of Major General Black C.B. who has attempted to thwart the wishes of the Colonists generally by raising objections to the construction of the road on military grounds.

3. As briefly as possible the circumstances will be laid before you.

4. In the early part of 1897, the Jubilee Committee, through the medium of the Press, invited suggestions from the public as to what form a permanent Memorial of the event referred to should take.
