Government's request. It will be realised that having maintained that sertice for almost a year without Government aid to offset operating losses our policy as to the continuance of the service must be guided by the Government's attitude in "espect to making good previous losses, as certified, and future losnas should they

result.

We understand that during the period 23rd June and 3rd September 1925 before we were requested to recommence operating, the Government ran the s.8. "Tung On", paying all running expenses, finding orew and in addition paying Owners a monthly fee by way of compensation and we hope the Goverment will bear in mind, the fact that the re-commencement of our regular service, enabled them to dispense with the s.8. "Tung On."

We have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servants

For The Hongkong, Cantor & HacaO Steamboat Cunny Ligiteć.
