There is one other point also which materially

affects this Colony, and upon which you will doubtless

see that reasonable protection is afforded to the

interests of this Colony, and that is the question of

the protection of the Telephone and Telegraph lines,

especially of the lines belonging to the Civil Govern-

ment.

There are in addition to these lines others

which are the property of the Military and Naval

Authorities and of the China and Japan Telephone Co.

all of which have been constructed without metallic

circuits and are, therefore dependent upon earth

circuit for their successful working. Upon this

question, as upon mapy other points raised in the

enclosed correspondence, the Government is entirely

without competent expert advice at and it is felt

that the points now submitted for consideration by

experts at home could not be satisfactorily settled

locally.

6. The objections by the Hongkong Telephone Company

appear to have great force. The Company cannot

afford to add the necessary wire for a return circuit

without which, on the installation of the tram line

their business will be destroyed. Having regard to

the fact that the Company has been in operation for

several years it appeared to me that the in-doming

Company ought to put up the necessary wire for return

current at their own expense. The same remark would

apply to the Military telephone lines.

The discussion was then continued in England.

The Telephone Company submitted a memorandum to the

Colonial office pointing out that their telephones would be

seriously affected by the Ekaksx Electrie Trams åf worked as

proposed
