sir,

For звае

02.3

In continuation of Sir Henry Blake's Des-

patch No. 555 dated the 24th. December, 1902, and of previous

correspondence on the subject of dredging and deepening the

Harbour of Hongkong, I have the honour to transmit herewith

6 copies of a Report dated the 30th. July last by Mr. J. F.

Boulton, Acting Assistant Director of Public Works, and of

correspondence connected therewith as well as a copy of the

and sheet of sections

seven small charts marked 'A' to

marked 'H' referred to in the first paragraph of the Report.

2.

You will see that that part of the Report

that deals with the rate at which deposit in the Harbour is

going on is based on the evidence afforded by the soundings

shown on the charts that have been issued from time to time

by the Hydrographer, but that it has not been found possible

to determine locally with accuracy the dates when these sound-

ings were taken nor the zero to which they have been referred.

More accurate data would be available if the Admiralty could

supply copies of all the charts divided into sections the

dates being shown on which each of the sections was sounded,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

ALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C., M.P.,
