excutive power while he shared his criticisms.

If Chatham, the ATW (in 389/13) and 4 says higher definitity that of piher had full exclatitive power to carry out the work in accordance with the contract: but of course he would apply for authority from Govt to depart

fairly clear from the Contract. This seems to be the case. But I gather from p. 13 this memorial p.13 that Mr Fisher constantly referred things to the DAW and Col Lee's office, which were presumably departures from the Contract then complains of red tape.

My Fisher's statements are sometimes on the misleading side. e.g. at p 15 he says "In March 1905 I pointed out that mong items... were not included in the Bill of quantities". In the meanwhile the work was progressing. Now the work did not begin on the superstructure till January 1908.

the guies, also, cannot be altogether relied on. he says the estimated com! was $648.000 against expenditure of $983,000 whereas the final estimate without the Clock Tower was $872,004 with the Tower $930,000. The total estimated expenditure was $1,040,000.

I think we must refer the whole business back to HKong. Mr Fisher has marked his letter "confidential".

Changes against the tenor of Dept can't be heart as altogether satisfactory. Ack Kong that his letter is being sent to the Govt for report, ask him how he comes to be in possession of what is, apparently, a file of official papers with whose authenticity he has removed...

Copy correct cauft both sent to the Govt.
