Mr. Rees Williams

As regards a map, please see the map flagged in red at the end of the paper on the Hong Kong laterworks behind No. 16 on file 53687/48 below.

As regards your further enquiry, I would draw attention to the statement on page 54 in the same paper by Mr. Leonard Jackson, who is in charge of the Hong Kong Waterworks, in which the very heavy cost of the conversion of sea water is discussed. We have not asked the Governor as to the possibility of erecting emergency filtration plants, etc

ugdinkt a this is a matter which would, in the ordinary way, considered in connection with the Colony's defence scheme, e know that this scheme is now under active preparation. I will certainly, however, write to the Governor about this if you would wish me to do so.

I should be grateful if the files below may be returned to Mr. Radford for tion.
