We are in receipt of your favour No. 1400/10 of 18th. instant addressed to our Senior, for which we thank you.

Since the General Officer Commanding the Troops states that upon military grounds there are grave objections to the erection of a Wireless Station on the South end of the D'Aguilar Peninsula, we suggest the following sites which according to our Wireless Expert appear next in point of value to the former from

a wireless point of view i.e. at Deep Water Bay or on Stanley Peninsula, but, in doing so fear both may be open to the same

objection.

-

Owing to the contour of the land, sites which offer

themselves on the Island as being favourable for the erection of

a Wireless Station are very limited. Our expert, Mr. Watts, is not

at present in the Colony, but working on the data we have in this

Office we shall endeavour to select alternative sites which on his

return will be carefully inspected. It would however considerable

assist us in this connection if you would inform us if any site

selected on the Southern or Eastern extremities of the Island

would be free from military objections, or if we must confine our

recommendations to the Northern side, or to the New Territory and

if so within what areas ?

We might add for your consideration that before re-

-commending the site at D'Aguilar the above objection suggested

itself to us, but being aware that the Admiralty propose erecting

a very powerful station on what may be regarded as a strategetical

position we concluded in the event of war the commercial, or

smaller, station would be follered to close down, and for this

reason
