No.975/1916.
Sir,
Hongkong, 28th November, 1917.
83
Yaumati Ferry Service.
We have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter
of to-day's date and can only express our extreme surprise
that the Government should not have acceded to the extremely
reasonable request as to the postponement of the passing of
the Ferries Ordinance,
+
And we have learnt that the Bill is coming up tomorrow
for its second reading.
Under these circumstances we are compelled to ask that
the second reading be postponed until the return of His
Excellency the Governor; we feel the injustice to our clients
in proceeding with the Bill before the Secretary of State has
been referred to is of such a nature that the question of
postponement of the second reading or not is a matter which
should receive the personal consideration of His Excellency
the Govemor.
We shall be glad to be favoured with an early reply as
possible to this letter.

We have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servants,
Deacon, Looker, Deacon & Harston.
The Hon. Mr. A.G.. Fletcher,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
