599

Estimated cost of Kowloon Scheme, including Reservoir, Filter Beds, Mains, Service Reservoir, etc............... $835,000

Do. Do. of Pokfulam Scheme including Reservoir, Pumping Station and Machinery, Mains, etc., this is a mere guess at present.. $1,000,000

Do. Do. of Reservoir in progress at Tai Tam. $120,000

Projected Waterworks to be taken in hand now.

Pumping Engine and Main to Peak, say, $50,000 Reconstruction of No. 2 Tank, say, $20,000 Service Reservoir in progress on Mount Gough. $23,000 Introduction of Meters and Fountains in City, say, $133,000 Total $2,131,000

Several of the estimates given above are mere guesswork, but I think they may be regarded as minimum figures.
