Sir,

Enclosure to Governor's Despatch No. 315 of the 13th August, 1901.

From Commodore P. Powell to Governor Sir Henry A. Blake

33323

R.H.X.3. "Tamer" at Hongkong, 13th August, 1901-

In reply to Your Excellency's letter No.157/3 of 13th instant, enclosing copy of a letter from the Chairman of the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, Limited, with reference to the conditions of transfer of land for the proposed new dock, I have the honour to acquaint Your Excellency that, as regards the first condition it does not appear practicable to come to a more definite understanding until something is known of the plans of the proposed dock. The Naval Authorities are prepared to meet the Company's wishes in every possible way, and I would suggest that the plans should be submitted for examination so that an idea of the proposals may be gathered.

As regards the third condition, I must adhere to the view expressed in my previous letters, that this condition must necessarily be insisted on.

I have &c., (Sd.) P. Powell,

Commodore.

His Excellency

Sir H. A. Blake, K.C.M.G.,

Governor,

&c. &c. &c.,

Hongkong.
