with reference to your

Confidential despatch of 28th August 1930,

regarding the Shing Mun Valley Water

Scheme I have the honour to inform you

that, as it has now been decided that the

scheme should be examined by Consulting

Engineers, I consider that it would be

premature to approach the Colonial

Development Advisory Committee at this

stage. Until the Consulting Engineers

have reported, it is not possible to say

what scheme will be finally adopted or to

furnish provisional estimates of cost.

2. When a scheme has been approved,

any application which may then be

forwarded
