Annexe 10.

Hon. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS,

Further to my minute of 1st June, 1921, I have now been able to go more deeply into the details of the scheme of drainage which I propose for the Western portion of Kowloon Peninsula and find that with further refinements in syphonage and anti- syphonage which will not affect the cost of the scheme, a very high efficiency can be obtained.
