Part 9 DEC 09

Government House,

Hongkong, 3rd November, 1909.

I have the honour to inform Your Lordship

that an area known as Shaukiwan Inland Lot No. 407 was sold to

Mr. Li Ping on the 16th September, 1907 for $6,400, upon the

conditions gazetted in Government Notification No.600 of 1907,

one of which was that the whole area of the lot should be re-

claimed within twelve months of the date of sale.

It now

appears from a report of the Acting Director of Public Works

dated the Elst ultimo that for the purpose of reclaiming the

lot it would be necessary to build a sea wall over 50 feet

high at an estimate cost of $20,000, whereas it was only

stipulated that $3,000 should be spent by the purchaser of the

lot in rateable improvements.

2. In these circumstances I submit for Your

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

THE EARL OF CREWE,

&c. &C.

Lordship's
