Courts of Justice,

Hong Kong,

30th August, 1928.

Messrs. Butterfield & Swire,

General Managers or Agents,

The Taikoo Sugar Refining Co. Ltd.

Dear Sirs,

As the Government understands that your Company

contemplates entering into an agreement with the Union

Waterboat Company Limited for the sale of water from your

reservoir on Inland Lot No. 1336 I am instructed to write

warning you that the Government is advised that your

Company has no right whatever under its arrangements with

the Government to enter into such agreement: Accordingly

I hereby give you notice that if your Company persists in

selling water from the said reservoir to the Union Waterboat

Company Limited, or to any other company, firm or person,

the Government will take such steps against your Company

as it may be advised.

In the meanwhile the Government reserves all

its rights against your Company.

Yours faithfully,

(Sa.)

H.K. Holmes

Crown Solicitor.
