Sir

Quarry Bay Hospital Site and two New Reservoirs.

We have the honour to acknowledge receipt of

your letter of 16th. March.

We regret that we rust confess surprise at

the terms you indicate for Crown Rent, Premia, etc., on the Crown Lands in question, considering the purposes for which we have acquired them and to which the encroachments referred to

are at present put.

In connection with the Hospital Site we

believe our Senior Mr. J. H. Scott approached His Excellency the

Governor with the view of that site being placed at our dis-

-posal for the benefit of the Quarry Bay community at a nominal

figure, and we understood His Excellency was willing to favour-

-ably consider that request. That it should now be proposed to charge the same terms as apply to Q.B.I. Lot 7 for a site to be used largely in the public weal (for the Taikoo employees at

Quarry Bay, for which the Hospital is intended, form a consider-

-able section of the community), and for a site which is not

of the parie market value, appears to us inconsiderate, having

regard to our connection with the development of Quarry Bay and

the motives influencing the erection of the Hospital.

With reference to the Two Reservoir Sites,

it is proposed to charge a higher premium than that obtaining

for Q.B.I. Lot 3 which serves for reservoir purposes. Consider-

-ing our liabilities to the Government under agreement in connec

-ion with the supply of water to Quarry Bay it does not appear

equitable that the Government should seek to panitia penalise

when us with higher charges it becomes necessary to extend our

facilities

catchwater/to

to meet the requirements of the area wo have to

serve with water.
