by the Director of Public Works either to the building
plan or to the selection of the building site.
Messrs. Hazeland and Gonella are the architects of
the club. No instructions have yet been given to them
in this matter.
You will have noticed, if any precedent for
acceeding to this request should be required, that the
Hong Kong Police Recreation Club has received
assistance from public funds.
I have set out somewhat fully the relevant facts
which, as it appears to me, His Excellency the Governor
will desire to consider in this connection. I shall be
glad to afford any additional information that His
Excellency may require.
I venture to submit with respect that, in view of
the fact that the removal of the existing Club House is
to be consequent upon public improvements and in view of
the other facts herein detailed, the allocation of public
money to this suggested purpose will be justified; and,
on behalf of the Club, I would give to His Excellency an
assurance that the support of the Government in this
undertaking will be received with the gratitude of all
its members.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
(Sd.) J. R. Wood
President.
The Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G.,
Colonial Secretary.
