With reference to your confidential

despatch of the 21st October, 1932, on the subject

of dredging in the vicinity of the Hong Kong & Kowloon

Wharf and Godown Company's piers, I have the honour to

inform you that after full consideration of the matter

and consultation with my Executive Council I have

decided that it will be sufficient if the dredging is

undertaken to a depth of thirty-four feet, six inches.]

The Commodore in Charge and the Company have raised

no objection to this depth. They have also agreed

to pay for the cost of dredging those parts of the

area in the immediate vicinity of their respective

properties.

2.

The estimated cost, so far as this Government

is concerned, of the dredging only, is $320,000. In

addition there is the cost of dumping dredged material.

It is proposed to form a dumping ground at Kun Tong,

as shown coloured red on the plan enclosed. This will

be a dumping ground not only for this particular piece

of dredging but also for the city refuse. It is well

removed from urban districts and when completed will

form a large reclaimed area, a possible use for which

is an offensive trades area. In view of the fact that

the benefit of this reclaimed area will accrue exclusively
