Sir,

With reference to your despatch No.92 of the 23rd March, I have the honour to confirm my telegram of the 12th June, which reads as follows:-

"Your despatch of 23rd March No.92 Wireless "Telegraphy. Surveys can be undertaken after selection "of sites by Public Works Department who will co- "operate and render all possible assistence. "Impossible to forward complete particulars enumerated

"in schedules until sites selected. Suggest

"communication with Carpenter, Executive Engineer, "home on leave who can answer any questions. Despatch "followe".

2.

The selection of the actual sites for the

proposed wireless stations being a matter for the experte

who are being sent to this Colony by the General Post Office, it appears that no steps can be taken in the direction of surveying the sites or supplying the full particulars asked

for in the Office of Works' letter of the 3rd March, until

these officers have made their selection.

As stated in my telegram, however, I am

prepared to permit the Public Works Department of this

Colony to undertake the surveys after the sites are selected, and that Department will co-operate with and

render

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

WINSTON CHURCHILL, M.P.,
