In continuation of my Minute 52819/28

of the 16th of August, I attach a copy of a

memorandum we have received on the subject of the Hong Kong Water Supply from Sir Cecil Clementi. He says that he will not be able to come up for a Conference until the 18th of September and we

In the propose to hold it some time after that. meanwhile we shall be glad of any preliminary

observations, which we recognise cannot be very exact in the absence of detailed information, that you may be able to make upon his suggestions as to the distillation of sea water and the construction

of a tunnel.
