(1) I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt

of your letter of 14th August, 1902,enclosing a Report of

the Director of Public Works, Hong Kong, dated 28th June,

1902, forwarding one by Messrs. Denison, Ram and Gibbs,

(16th June, 1902) the Engineering Firm,to whom the super-

vision of the construction of these works has been ent must-

ed.

I have not replied sooner, as I was from home, and

had not the necessary documents before me.

(*) When I was in Hong Kong, a conference took

place, at which the Director of Public Works, Mir. Gibbs and

myself, were present. This happened, after an inspection

of the ground, and an examination of the plans. I append

a copy of the note of proceedings, made at the time.

(*) I will now consider the points,raised by the

Director of Public Works, in his report dated 23rd June,

1902.

It is proposed to give force to my recommenda-

tions with the exception of

(a)

(b)

"Gauging streams during construction of Dan".

*Employing artificial filters at the intakes

"of streams, on the line of main, between the filter-beds

گوگو

and service reservoir.*
