Government House,

Hongkong, 9th. June, 1905.

With reference to your Despatch

No. 16 of the 27th. of January, stating that the Crown

Agents had been instructed to select a suitable candidate

for the appointment of Surveyor, I have the honour to

inform you that when the selected candidate Mr. R. C.

Bird

-

entered upon his duties on the 18th. May it was

found that he had never used a theodolite or any of the

ordinary surveying instruments, and that the only kind of

surveying he had done consisted in taking measurements

with a tape for the purpose of checking the Ordinance

Survey Maps which were accepted as plans for such pur-

-poses as assessment of values etc.

I regret that the usual paper of

2.

particulars of office was not enclosed in my Despatch No.

420 of the 19th. December, but I must point out that that

Despatch

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
