6. If the scheme meets with Your Excellency's approval, it will be necessary for its setting on foot and subsequent carrying out that legislative sanction and powers should be given and afforded by means of an Ordinance. Your Petitioner will be happy to draft such Ordinance, if desired, or to render assistant in the drafting if undertaken by the legal advisers to the Govern- -ment. Any such Ordinance must (inter alia) confer powers of making the tramway which it is proposed should be constructed. facilitate the means of access to the site.

It will also be necessary for such Ordinance to sanction the principle of residents other than Portuguese being permitted to enjoy the benefits of residence within the reservation such as doctors and others whose presence there may be found to be essential to the proper carrying out of the scheme.
8. Generally your Petitioner would submit that the scheme, if successfully materialized, will confer undoubted benefits on a deserving class of the community now severely affected by the prevailing economic and housing conditions in the Colony and will, in addition, afford a means of remunerative investment to the public at large which will materially assist the well being, development and commercial prosperity of the Colony as a whole.

Sookumpoo Valley.
On the East
On the South
-
On the West
-
the ridge dividing the Tai Hang and Soo- -kumpoo Valleys.
by the hill known as Jardine's Lookout.
a line draw parallel to the Road to
Wong llei Chung Cap at the 300 foot contour level.
Should the scheme be approved an exact survey of the area will be completed and furnished.
10. Your Petitioner trusts the scheme will meet with Your Excellency's approval.
And humbly prays that, if Your Excel- -lency approves of the scheme, Your Excellency may be pleased to approve and sanction such Legislative steps and Government co-operation as will be necessary to give it Legislative endorsement and effect on the lines proposed.
And your Petitioner will ever pray &c.
