8. Mr. Ormsby suggest in bis Report that the dam should only be carried to a height of feet in the frat instance, lessing to a future date the raising of it to be ful height. With the experience gained na Hoarkong and the facte sisted above, before me, I strongly deprecate Such a cons and recommend that the dam be carried to its full height forthwith. Od

His EXCELENOT the GOVERNOR-Before wo proceed to the orders of the day, gentlemen, there is a matter I wish to say a word or two about-namely, a telegram I have mesired from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, 15 October lest the estimates of expenditure wout home and at that time we were avers that 10.

port of the world we should not pay our Ciri servantain any work manner than they are pold in Singapore, considering that this Colony of Hongkong is the chief port of call for all vessels coming East or going West and we expect, and have right to expect, that all one. Civil servants should discharge their duties in a faithful manner correas posting to the importance of this Colony. And while we expect faithful and long service from our Civil servante, we tainly should pay them anficiently for their THE faithful work. Singapore, I bellave, although it is a larger place than Hongkong, is iu property, in trade, and everything also, far here of the Civil servants are not anything Gehind Hongkong, and I believe the duties like so hard and important as we have for them hero. So that in sanctioning this further grant in exchange compensation, we are doing nothing but justice to our Civil servants, and I for one, as representing the Chinese, numerous large tax-payers in the Colony, am quite of the opinion that their compensation should be increased. There is a further indusement, I think, in this way, that while they are on active service hers they get the full compensation, and in their absence on leave they do not have any such advantage, so that there would be an inducement to work harder here and not go home on half- pay learo go frequently, We at all events, se coloniste and inhabitants, get good service for the rate of pay. I propose this resolation just (Continued on page 5.)

Acting Director of Public Works to Colonial Secretary
Public Works Office. Hongkong, 24th October, 1901. Sir-I have the honour to report that Mears. Denison & Razi have now, in accordance with my request, submitted a complete estimate of the cost of the new Kowloon Waterworks Gravitation Scheme.net
2. In forwarding to you their letter of the 14th instant, which contains the estimate re ferred to, I desire to point out the following essential points of difference between the solemne Tow proposeil and that contained in Mr. Gil's original Report of the 8th January, 1900.
(1). The dam in ef mascary and cement concreta as recommended by Mr. Chadwick, instead of an earthen bank with clay padile

(ii). The site of the dam has been altered as proposed by Mr. Ormsby being now located 30 feet lower in level in the bed of the valley.
(ii). The height of the dand has consequently Leen increased from 65 feet to $5 fost, top water being maintained at the same level as formerly (ith The capacity of the servoir has like Price been increased from 120 million to 31 million gallons. W
(*) The estimated available supply has boon increased from 590,000 to 1,575,00 gallons per XB-fore comparing the original and present estimates, it is well that. I should lay before you the figures showing the enormous increase ia popolation which, had courred in Kowloon arising out of development, which led far exceeded all expretstic, merely stating that the scheme is designed to supply the entire Peanels, with the exemption of few mall villages, from korkon City on the

Item (2). The original proposal provided only for Intercepting a stream from a side valley below, die dann; the prosent ecbeme provides for a large catchwater along the Northern slopes of the Kowloon range of hills, intercepting the drainage from an area of 400 acres,
Item (3). Owing to the reduction in head, resulting from constructing the dem lower down the valley, the main to the Filter Beds has had to increased in size.
- Item (4) Filter Beds of rare than double the area originally proposed are required to deal with the increased supply which is con- templated under the new scheme.
Items (5) to (9) The increases are required to cover the enhanced cost of materials and labour only;

Hi8 EXCELLENCE the GOVERNOR-795, Well, the Socrotary of State felt that he could hardly interfere with these advantages enjoyed by the present holders. So as far as the present holders of these were concerned, they scrived the option whether they would have their alaries in future guid iu sterling at what the practical valuation of the sterling was, tak- ing into consideration the possible advantage to pension pay, but that they would have the alternative of an increase not on the pay but that while actually serving in the Colony the compensation allowance for exchange should be given on the whole instead of the half salary. That increase was not to be calculated in ofther their leave or their pension but was to be a purely local increase while the lifetime of the present holders. Well, when that came before me, in that despatch the Secretary of State informed me that he did not at present propose to increase the salaries until he of the officials in Hongkong vas satisfied as to the financial position of Hongkong. When I received that despatek I saw at once the position in which this Colony would be placed if the officials in the Straits were to be paid better than the curres- poading positions were worth in Hongkong. Both Colonies are recruited, and will be re- sruited in the future, by cadeis who go throngh the same examinations, and in accordance with their positions on the 1st these cadet have the option of choosing where they go.. Naturally, if we are the worst paid Colony in MOET
the East, we must expect to get simply the minder. The most successful will naturally choose the best paid position. I wrote in onewor to that and I pointed out this to the Secretary of State and also that we find it extremely difficult to get recruits for our police, water police, and wrdara, or any position for which we want Europeans in this Colony. I pointed out further the position in which this would place Hongkong. Furthermore, I went into the question of the financial position of the Colony. and-I am speaking entirely to the unofficial members of this Council- I think it is noñecer-

14 Toukamarize the matter, the scheme now proposed will give a supply of over 11 million gallons per day, which it is anticipated will be fully required within a few years after the works have been completed.
Anybody who has seen the list of public com- panies, shares, and other matters which dra within the cognisance of anybody who chooses to take the trouble to inquire, must see that the operations in this Colony are very much larger than in Singapore, and I think as far aal, after nearly three years' experienco, can gather, the financial position of this Colony is as sound as that of any in the British Empiro. I. pointed out that, and in answer to that
