With reference to your letter No. 1 in 6981/07 of 28th. May, from which I note that Mr. Harcourt desires that condition (VIII) in Paragraph 5 of your letter No. 1 in 6981/07

of the 15th. March should be excised. I beg to remind you that

Kowloon Marine Lot No. 9 is a very valuable site, which could read- -ily be sold to competitors of the Wharf & Godown Company at a price, very much in excess, of that, at which it is now under

offer to Government, moreover the Wharf & Godown Company has made

no secret of the objects it had in view when offering to sell this

Lot to Government at the low price of 84 per square foot.

These objects are:-

(a) the fixing of the site of the Terminus of the Railway on

this Marine Lot,

(b) the acquisition of the Railway siding which is to be

brought to the boundary of the Wharf & Godown Company's

property.

I trust therefore that the Wharf & Godown Company

may not be considered unreasonable, if in return for the waiving

of the above condition, it asks for the following undertakings

from Government,

(1) With reference to condition (X) in Paragraph 5 of your

above mentioned letter of 15th. March, the proposed rail· -way siding to approach the boundary of the Wharf & Godown Company's property from Marine Lot 9 in such a manner that the siding may be readily and conveniently

continued along the Wharf Company's Praya without

interference with the existing buildings and Godowns.

(2)
