sufficient to pay for the completion of the railway.
We enclose for your information copies of
correspondence in the above connection, between Mr. Grove and
the Managing Director, Mr. Wei Wan, from which you will observe
that the price of $280,000 has apparently been sanctioned by the
Board of Communications and by the Viceroy, and Mr. Grove having
carried his protest as far as he deemed advisable, the matter
was referred to us. We think Mr. Grove has handled this matter
with considerable tact, for while securing a very substantial
reduction on the price which these officials first contemplated
charging the railway, he has nevertheless avoided all friction.
It is evident to us however that friction would result if
further opposition were offered to payment of the sum demanded,
and as this would be very undesirable, we considered it best
:
to advise pr. Grove to sanction the payment. We would suggest
for your consideration the advisability of noting a protest at
the Board of Communications against the excessive cost of this
land, and would further ask you to show the correspondence and
explain the matter to the British Minister for his information.
We are etc.,
