sir.

I am directed to forward a copy of a question aske by Mr. S.0.Chose in the Legislative åssembly on the 1st September 1925 and of the reply given thereto. It would appear from the information containe? at pago 707 of Whittaker's Almanac.1925, that the area in question is reserved for Europeans but the Government of India would be grateful if it could be ascertained" from the Colonial Office whether this is correct. If so, they would also like to be informe of the circumstances in which the area came to be reserved and whether the local Chinese or any other non-European community has asked for a modiflea- tion of the arrangement.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient servant,

Sd/ G.S. Bajpai

Offg: Deputy Secretary.
