first enclosure to the despatch under reply, I have the
honour to state that it is now proposed to continue the
reclamation for the preliminary scheme for a further 1,200
feet in a southerly direction until it abuts on Messrs.
Blackhead and Company's Kowloon Marine Lot No.81, and that a
revised plan for this reclamation has been sent to the Con-
sulting Engineers by the Chief Resident Engineer.
3.
In (4) of the same letter Sir John Wolfe
Barry & Partners state that they have been and are giving a
most careful and detailed consideration to the finished
scheme. In this connection I suggest that their attention
should be called to the latter part of paragraph 7 of my
Confidential despatch of the 12th. January in which I
stated that it was only necessary for them to consider at
the present time the complete scheme to the extent of avoid-
ing in the laying out of the station yard arrangements
which might be inconvenient when further sections of this
scheme are undertaken.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
M. Ruthan
Governor,&c.
