My Lord,

With reference to Mr. (now Sir) Claud

Severn's despatch No.245 of 27th June, 1922, dealing

with the proposed revision of the alignment of the

Shaukiwan Road, I have the honour to inform Your

Lordship that financial difficulties, caused by local

unrest, brought about great delay in the execution of

the project, while subsequent developments have made it necessary to modify from time to time the proposals

which were approved by Mr. Secretary Churchill in his 209/22 telegram of 17th August, 1922.

Enclosure No. 1. Enclosure No. 2.

2.

It has now been possible to arrive at

a new set of proposals to which Messrs. Butterfield

and Swire have agreed. I enclose a plan and a copy of

a minute by the Director of Public Works wherein the

matter is explained and the conditions clearly set forth, and request Your Lordship's approval of the

terms of the agreement.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

LORD PASSFIELD,

&C.,

&c.,

humble servant,
