HONGKONG,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

6th November, 1933.

13858/33

on 138581.

I have the honour to acknowledge the

receipt of your Confidential despatch of 20th

September, 1933, regarding the question of providing

a second pipe line across Hong Kong Harbour in

connection with the Shing Mun Valley Water Works Scheme

at an estimated cost of $350,000, and conveying your

approval of the inclusion of $300,000 in the draft

Estimates for 1934 under Loan Works.

2.

It will be observed that in Appendix V(B) on page 114 of the draft Estimates for 1934,

copies of which were forwarded to you in my despatch

No. 504 of 4th October, 1933, the estimated cost of

this work is given as $375,000 and the estimated

expenditure for 1934 $323,000. The reason for these

increases is that the original estimates did not include

provision for executive and administration charges.

3.

I shall be glad if the estimates as so

amended may receive your approval.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,
