I have the honour to transmit for the signification of His Majesty's pleasure Ordinance No. 4 of 1904 entitled "An Ordinance for the Reservation of a Residential area in the Hill District, with the Attorney-General's Report thereon. It will be observed that the Ordinance has a suspending clause.
25.8.10/6.
I think that I may have acted reasonably, better to await Sir S. Hoare's comments (of 19/5 - 17932) before seeking sanction.

We have done so.

In February last I received a Petition, copy enclosed, signed by every owner (74) or owners representative (6) not absent from the Colony and by the occupiers of the houses in what is known as the Peak District, praying that the district in question should be reserved for the exclusive residence of non-Chinese inhabitants.

The grounds upon which the Petitioners base their prayer are clearly set forth in the Petition. They argue that the Hill District is the healthiest part of the Colony for those to live in to whom life in the tropics presents the disadvantage of an unnatural environment; they urge that owing to changed conditions in life it is necessary for Europeans with their wives and families to remain much longer in the Colony than formerly; and they state that it is in the interests
