to the fact that no reply has been received in this Colony to

Mr. May's telegram of the 22nd. June and Despatch No. 276 of

the 4th. July accepting for the boundary between War Depart-

ment Property and the proposed East Prava Reclamation that

submitted in War Office letter Hongkong/8/175 of the 14th.

May, 1904, enclosed in your Despatch No. 160, dated the 20th.

May, 1904, subject to the batter of the rubble slope of the

Eastern Praya Reclamation between the coping level and toe of

the slope projecting beyond this boundary.

2.

I assume that this modification to the

War Office proposal has been accepted but as it would be well

to have this definitely on record I have the honour to enclose

for the formal acceptance by the War Department a plan showing

this modification.

3.

You will observe that the green dotted

line on this plan corresponds to that on the enlarged plan

'z' which accompanied the War Office letter above referred to

but that the batter of the wall of the Eastern Prava Reclama-

tion to the North of the War Department Reclamation is to the

West THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
