experience of local needs because otherwise a serious situation might at any time develop on or even within our borders, and also because the trade and prosperity of this Colony is most intimately bound up with the preservation of friendly relations with Canton, the capital of Kwong Tung which is only 90 miles distant from our seat of Government, the City of Victoria.
Other important matters requiring continuity of administration are the improvement of our harbour, laying out of the Colony on broad lines for the development of a large programme of building houses which are urgently needed and the carrying out of very extensive water works schemes.
In general we would express our warm appreciation of the present Governor's firm yet tactful conduct of the various intricate and difficult problems of administration which have confronted him during his term of office in Hongkong, and of his broad & farseeing views in regard to its future development and progress.
For the above reasons we would very strongly deprecate any change being made in the personnel of our Governor and trust that you will see your way to grant to him a second term of office as Governor of this Colony upon the expiration, which we understand will occur some time next year, of his present term of office.
