In reply to your communication 251 E/1 of the 7th
March 1905, we beg to inform you that we estimate the cost of
the surveys for the portion of the above railway between
Kowloon and Lo Fu Ferry (a) by the east route (about 21
miles) and (b) by the west route (about 33 miles) at about
£5,500 in accordance with the attached detailed statement.
Our fees for reporting upon the result of the survey would
be £525.
We understand that it is desired that the two
suggested routes should be carefully investigated, that the
select ed centre line/in each case should be marked out on the ground
and working surveys and sections prepared, together with
type drawings of bridges and other works and detailed esti-
mates of cost.
We think that the time required to make the
necessary surveys and to prepare the drawings, quantities,
and estimates to enable us to make our report will be about
a year from the date of the departure of our surveying party
from England and upon this estimate of time our figures
are based.
We are taking steps to secure the despatch of our
staff at an early date after hearing from you.
We shall be glad to know that you approve the
estimate of expenditure.
We are &c.
&C.

for SIR JOHN WOLFE BARRY & PARTNERS.
