On the land leased in 1905 an extension of the Post Office was built at a cost, then, equivalent to £2400.

As the result of an arrangement made between the Post Office and H.M. Office of Works, in London, control of the British Postal Agencies in China, including the British Post Office at Shanghai, was transferred from the Hongkong Goverment to the Imperial Government as from the 1st January 1911.

No deed of assigment or cancellation of the Lesser of 1875 and 1905 was asked for, or executed.

On the 3rd July, 1912, H.M. Office of Works, London, notified H.. Surveyor at Shanghai that, in view of the transfer to the Imperial Government of the control of British Postal Agencies in China, the rent of Ils.1,200 per anmum payable under the Lease of 6th December 1906 by the Hongkong Government was not to be collected, and that rent paid since 1st January 1911 was being credited to the Postmester General London. Nothing was said as to the "peppercorn" rent, at the "nominal rate of ons Mexican dollar cent per annum", payable under the original Lease of 18th March, 1875; as that, of course, had never been demand- ed, or paid.

On the 21st October 1910 the Acting Governor of Hongkong asked for instructions from the Colonial Office

as to whether the Imperial Government was "prepared to take "over the Buildings from this Colony at the value assessed "by Messrs. Tarrant and Morriss,"

The valuation referred to, namely, 846,258.51,

then equivalent to £4,048.0.0, was, in November 1911, recommended for acceptence by the Board's Principal

Assistant in London; but the buildings, however, have not

yet been taken over.

In 1917 the upper floor of the British Post Office

Building, until then occupied by the Poetzeeter at Shanghai, vas, at the suggestion of H.M. Surveyor at Shanghai and with the consent of the Hongkong Goverment, leased to Masers,
