GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

HONGKONG. 15th. December, 1917.

Sir,

I have the honour to forward a copy of a

report of proceedings of the Public Works Committes in which

it was recommended that a scheme for widening Queen's Road

East should be undertaken,

in the report.

2.

I enclose a copy of the plan referred to

The road in question is far too narrow for

its present traffic; but that traffic will be partly diverted

to the new 100 foot road along Praya East, when the reclama-

-tion scheme is completed.

3.

I have now to ask your covering authority

for this widening scheme. The cost will be spread piecemeal

over a number of years, and a very great public improvement

will eventually be effected.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Claud Seven

Officer Administering the Government.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

VALTER LONG, M.P.,

80..
