Paraphrase telegram from the Governor of Hong
Kong to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
Dated 1st February, 1927.
(Received Colonial Office 10.11 a.m.,lat Feb.1927)
Your telegram of 28th January, site for
aerodrome. No question of option on land arises.
Kaitak Company cannot sell to others except with
permission of the Colonial Government. Exact
cost of resumption which is mostly represent ed
by the value of reclamation done is being
discussed with the Company. There is no other
site for an aerodrome. As the Colony's safety
and commercial progress demand facilities for
aviation and as the present trade depression
affords a favourable opportunity for resumption I urge strongly that purchase be made without
delay.
