of a Bill as general in scope as the proposed measure, it

should introduce a separate and special Bill for each public

work contemplated.

In making this suggestion the letter sent to the

Hongkong Chamber also said:

"It is felt that the special relationship in which

the affairs of the Colony stand to those of China

necessitates the greatest possible circumspection in

introducing a measure affecting foreshore, or, indeed,

any similar rights".

My Committee think that, as they may wish to make

representations to you on this subject at a later date, the

views which have been expressed to the Hongkong Chamber should

be communicated to you for your information.

I have, etc.,

(Signed) E.M. Gill.

Secretary.
