I also share the opinion held by them that when the deepening of the water is undertaken, a proportion of the expense should be borne by the Naval Authorities, from whom the request for a deeper harbour originated.

8. With regard to the question of the improvement of the lighting of the harbour, which led up to the Vice-Admiral's proposal for the removal of the shoals, I have to refer you to the correspondence noted in the attached list on the subject of the transference of the Cape d'Aguilar Light to Green Island and of the Green Island Light to Cape Collinson. Then these changes have been effected Cape Collinson Light could be placed on Kowloon Point and would render easier the navigation of the internal waters of the harbour.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Humble servant, W. Gascoigne Major-General, Administering the Government.
