sir,

INSPECTOR J. SHOPHO"D:

With reference to the H.K.P. General Order No.91 of 1947,

Part One, II REMINDER. I respectfully bag to point out that in

our reply to the Memorandum dated 29.1.47, para 5 states:

We are grateful for the extension to 15.2.47 whereby careful consideration can be nade, but, should a ratis- factory conclusion not be reached, further deferment would be appreciated.”

Resulting from this we received your minute dated 13.2.47-

sarinl No.483/13/2/47 in which at (b) you stated, " the option

cannot be extended beyond 15th July, 1947."

The replice contained in this tinute were fully discussed

resulting in my minute dated 21.2.47 wherein we requsated that

our memora ndun Jated the .1.1947 be forwarded to the Rt. Hon.

the Secretary of State for the Colonias.

By your minute dated 20.3.47--serial No.1115/21/3/47--wo

wors informed that our petitien had so been forwarded te the

9. or S.

By the fact that a mstlersatory conclusion war nat reached

locally by our reply of 29.1.1947 to the Honorandum thereby

making it necessary for us to refer the subject matter to the Rt.

Hon. the Becretary of State for the Colonie, from whom we hope

to receive couplate satisfaction. Te date no reply has been

received which re heve when received will by fully replied to and

sati-factory to all.

are gæsteful fǝr the extension granted us to 15.7.1947,

but as no reply has been received from the Rt. Hon. the Secretary

of State for the Colenies, we feel that the date for comɔlying

with the option should be left open until such times as this reply

is received in which it is possibie that, the Secretary of State

may make a directive on this point.

12th July, 1947.

(sd) J. Shenherd.

Inspector.
