Hong Kong undertook to bear the additional

cost of completing the aerodrome by dredging,

the advantage derived by the Air Ministry

being a saving in time of some two years.

The dredging, while of some benefit to Hong

Kong, would certainly not have been under-

taken in present financial conditions,

apart from the aerodrome, and it would

hardly seem equitable for the Air Ministry

to save both in time and in money while

increasing the burden on Hong Kong. The

amount involved in any such adjustment

is not large, and we hope, therefore,

that you will agree to let the present

basis for the division of cost remain

unaltered.
