Bit,

With further reference to your letter 217/

1917 of the 9th, May last I beg to inform you that my father

has had the property known as "The Homestead" valued by the

three leading firms of Architects in Hongkong.

Their valuation amounts to approximately

$150,000, to which must be added 10% for compulsory purchase,

making a total of $165,000, also Valuers' fees and legal

expenses.

The steel work and wire mesh referred to

in previous correspondence is not included in the above

figures, as Messrs. Shewan, Tomes & Co. are willing to take

it over.

This letter is not to be taken as an ad-

mission that the Crown or the Local Government has any power

to acquire the property compulsorily, nor am I in any way

authorised by my father to accept the amount above mentioned,

but I shall be glad to forward to him any communication

which you may desire to make on this subject.

I have, etc.,

(8d.) Ho Wing.

Colonial Secretary.
