To sum up briedly, then, the agreement is as follows:-

(a) The Colonial Government waives its claim up to a maximum of $1,000,000 in respect of the rent of the

Sham Shui Po camp site.

In return the War Department will bear the whole

capital cost of the anti-malarial works on the Kau Lung

Tsai site, up to a maximum of $975,000, and the cost of

their future maintenance.

(b) The Colonial Government spends $60,000 on doubling

a section of the Customs Pass Road and waives its claim

for $125,866 cash payments in respect of the Kau Lung

Tsai site as a sole contribution towards the cost of

constructing the roads sketched on Enclosure (1), the

maintenance of which (outside War Department lands) it

will take over as from the date of completion of each

of them.

I hope very much that this agreement will commend

itself for your early approval because it would, I consider

effect a very desirable simplification of this Goverment 's

financial position vis-a-vis the War Department.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

servant,

Your most obedient, humble

A Caldecot

Governor, &c.
