I have authorised the Director of Public Works to charge this

amount in the first instance to the vote for "Water-works

Miscellaneous", on which no considerable demands are at present

anticipated. As the water will be filtered, there is no reason

why the full rate of 50 cents per 1,000 gallons should not be

be more than recovered certainly within a year.

As the Public Works Department is fully

occupied with other works, the work of construction has been

placed in the hands of Messrs. Denison, Ram, and Gibbs, who

are already engaged on the Kowloon Waterworks, and it is

anticipated that the work will be completed within seven or

eight months.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

Ashley

Officer Administering the Government.
