(in case)

With reference to Sir Cecil Clementi's

despatch No.226 of 25th April, 1928, regarding

the cost of the Air Port at Kai Tak and to my

confidential despatch of 13th June, 1928, on the

financial position vis-à-vis the proposed

Aberdeen Water Scheme, I have the honour to

inform you that in view of the contribution from

Imperial Funds being fixed at £100,000, thereby

increasing the proportion of the total cost of the

Kai Tak Scheme to be borne by this Colony, it has

been found necessary, under the provisions of

Section 3 of the Public Works Loan Ordinance, 1927,

to transfer the sum of $500,000, allocated to Iten

No.3 of the Schedule, Other Fublic Works, to Item

No.2, Aerodrome and Harbour development, thus

increasing the sum allocuted to the latter item

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, M.P.,
