In the 12th. paragraph of my Con-
※
-fidential Despatch of the 20th. October, 1905, on the
subject of the survey and preliminary work for the section
of the Canton-Kowloon Railway within British Territory, I
stated that the question of the extent and nature of the
reclamation required for the Kowloon terminus of that line
required careful working out and that I had placed that
matter in the hands of Mr. J. F. Boulton, Senior Executive
Engineer in the Public Works Department and formerly the
Engineer of the Praya Reclamation Works.
2.
I have now the honour to forward
a copy of a letter from Mr. W. Chatham, M.I.C.E., Director
of Public Works, covering preliminary drawings and estimates
drawn up by Mr. Boulton for a scheme of reclamation to
provide a site for a passenger station and goods depot in
Hunghom Bay on the East side of the Kowloon Peninsula.
