GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG11th. August, 1915.

2.

I have the honour to report that the Directorate

of St. Joseph's English College, a school attended by some 500 pupils, have applied for a building grant in order to enable them to carry out a considerable extension to their class-room accommodo-

-tion, and to cover over a playground attached to the premises.

The Director of Education is of the opinion

that the proposed buildings, estimated to cost $28,000 in all, will be of great benefit to the College, and I have accordingly to recommend the grant towards their cost of a sum of $2,500, under the terms of articles 50 to 52 of the Grant Code, 1914, a copy of

which was forwarded with my Despatch No. 236 of the 9th. July, 1914.

GNT 299051144

I propose that this sum should be paid, as to half on the completion

of the buildings, and as to the balance in the ensuing financial

year.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Bomag
