With reference to your letter No.4039/12 of the

16th ultimo respecting the application of the Mitsui Bussan

Kaisha for the lease of a site for a coal depot at Hong Kong,

I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to

acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary of State

for the Colonies, that the site applied for, viz. North Point,

being on the Island itself, increases the objection to such

a lease mentioned in Admiralty letter of the 13th April 1911,

but that they do not consider that this objection is a sufficient reason to prevent the lease being granted subject to the conditions referred to by the Governor in his telegram

of the 8th February.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

L.P.--No. 8.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

O. Munay.
