nearssary & occupy
this Hill, but
the Committee considue that the chances
of
an attack from this direction are not great. First, because a
landing
in Miry Bay (5 miles north of Kowloon City) wonted be a hazardous interprise.
und the road vove the Hills, (in many
plaas a more

The
already provided for by the fire of Batteries. For these reasons the Committe
do not
propose to occupy the Hill
overlooking In Battery at Kawloon dock,
prepare the site, and indicate the importance of his point
461
in case an
attack from the direction of Howtoon City is to be apprehended.
The cost of these works would be as
