Sir,

RECEIVED

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG,

1 DEC 1953

6th November, 1933.

Encl. No.1.

1. In 18858/13

on

Encl. No.2.

1.

With reference to my despatch No.192 of the

29th March, 1933, I have the honour to enclose for your information the accompanying copy of six resolutions adopted by the Legislative Council at a meeting held on

the 12th October, 1933.

2.

In each case your permission had previously

been obtained to carry out the work in question and to

charge the cost to Loan Funds.

3.

With reference to resolution No.5, I would

invite attention to Appendix V(B) of the draft Estimates for 1934 forwarded to you in my despatch No.504 of the

4th October, 1933, where the revised estimated cost of

the Tytam Tuk Catchwaters is given as $800,000.00 and not as $690,000.00, the figure quoted in the enclosure to my

despatch of 29th March. The reason for the increase is that the original estimate did not include executive and

administration charges. These charges which are

estimated at $110,000.00 are now included in the revised

estimate for the whole work, for which I should be glad to

receive your covering approval.

4.

A copy of the Hansard report of the proceedings

is also enclosed.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

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

&C.,

&C.

Governor, &c.
