Crown Solicitor's Office,

Messrs. Deacon, Looker and Deacon.

Dear Sirs,

Kowloon Marine Lots 29, 30 and 31.

cd basardani me I

In reply to your letter of the 22nd. instant

bu dan nolis-

I beg to point out that the levelling and reclaiming of the area of Crown Land described in Subsection 4 of Section 4 of the Harbour of Refuge Ordinance 1909 is one of the works authorised by that Ordinance and to repeat that the alteration in the level of Reclamation Street was undertaken with

to such reclama-

-tion.

The Representation of the attitude of the

Government put forward in your letter is not correct.

The Government cannot admit or reject any claim before it is made. Any claim put forward under the Ordi- -nance will be decided in manner prescribed by Section 12 of the

Ordinance.

I do not see any necessity for the determina- -tion of such claims to stand over till the Autum and would

point out that particulars of all claims should have been deliver- -ed before 31st. December, 1909.

Yours etc.. FB. L. Bowby. (Sd.) Crown Solicitor.
