Encl. 1 & 2.

sent to you by safe hand last December had not yet been

delivered at the date of your despatch. The roads in the

Kau Lung Tsai (i.e. the New Cantonment) area will be constructed,

maintained and controlled solely by the Military, and the

Colonial Government has no desire to take them over or to

share or use them in any way. The map since received by you

will show the wide location over a considerable part of the

Southern portion of the New Territories of the roads which

were the actual subject of paragraphs 4, 5, and 10(b) of my

previous despatch. In face of the likelihood that some of

the agricultural, touristic and residential development

along and over these roads will take place as soon as they

are opened to traffic I do not feel myself that it would be

justifiable for the Colonial Government to defer its assumption

of liability for their maintenance until the Military have

handed back the Sham Shui Po site. I hope therefore that

you will see your way favourably to reconsider the arrangement put forward in paragraph 4(c) of my former despatch.

6.

I considered it advisable to send my draft of the

preceding paragraphs to the General Officer Commanding the

Troops for his scrutiny, and I enclose herewith a copy of His

Excellency's reply and of my acknowledgement of it.

I hope

that all roon for doubt or misunderstanding has now been removed.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

Waldor

Governor &c.
