I forward herewith a copy of an application from the Shanghai Power Company, and a copy of my reply thereto. 

There are no Police objections to the installation of flood lights as shown on the accompanying plan. The flood lights are shielded to meet traffic requirements and to protect pedestrians from possible glare annoyance. 

As such applications may also be the concern of the Public Works Department I have requested that all future applications be submitted direct to the Secretary, S.M.C.
