Copy of Messrs Leight Orange's Alteration enclosed

Hong Kong, 28th December, 1903.

With reference to the despatch of the Secretary of State No. 161 of 12.6.03,

I beg to submit the following statement,

in which I will deal as concisely as possible with the various points raised.

On the 21st May, 1902, Messrs Leight Orange deposited a plan containing cross sections of the tramway for my approval under Section 13 of Ordinance No. 10 of 1902.

I declined to approve of the plan on the grounds that it did not comply with the decision of the Technical Adviser of the Board of Trade (Colonel Yorke.) in the matter of the bed of concrete underneath the rails and I returned it for amendment.

It is evident from Messrs Dickinson's letter of the 5th November, 1903, that the terms of my letter were communicated to them by their local representatives, but I may also point out that Messrs Dickinson and Co were well aware beforehand that the plan did not fulfil the requirements.

The Honourable Colonial Secretary.
