Enclosure No.2.

73

The Resolution standing in my name is in connection with the aerodrome and hangar at Kai Tak. A resolution approving of the expenditure in 1932 of $34,000 on the aerodrome and hangar was taken on 10th December last. $25,000 was for the aerodrome and the remaining $9,000 for the hangar, The Air Ministry has now advised us that for civil purposes it is necessary to provide the aerodrome with a surrounding fence,

The estimated cost of

one of the type recommended by the Ministry is $25,000. In addition $4,500 is required for turfing. The $9,000 voted for the hangar was sufficient for the actual building, but there are certain ancillary works for which funds have not yet been voted.
