sir,
In reply to your telegram of the
5th, instant, and in connection with the proposed now
Kowloon Water Supply from a storage reservoir to be
constructed in the New Territory, I have the honour to
inform you that it was at one time hoped that the work
could be carried out by the Public Works Department
without the addition to their staff of a special
Engineer of experience in Waterworks construction la ap-
proaching completion of the Praya Reclamation Works
making it probable that one of the two Executive
Engineers employed on those works, could be detached for
the Kowloon Scheme.
2.
Since the commencement of this year
however, the Praya East Reclamation Scheme has been
brought prominently forward, and the services of Mr.
Boulton, the Executive Engineer above referred to, will
be required immediately on his return to make prelimi-
nary surveys and plans for this scheme, a vote on
RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
