I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the

Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of the Secre-

tary of State for the Colonies, that they have had under

their consideration the question of Coaling facilities and

storage accommodation for Coal at present existing at the

Kowloon Naval Depôt.

2. In order to meet Naval requirements, My Lords

are about to reclaim a portion of Kowloon Marine Lot No. 41

which is held by the Admiralty for so long as it is required

for Naval purposes under "Terms of Possession" dated 18 th

May 1899.

3.

I am to transmit, for your information, a plan

showing in blue colour the area to be reclaimed which will be

entirely within the Admiralty boundary.

I am,

sir,

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
