Sir,
In continuation of our letter of the 20th of July
I have now the honour to enclose for the information of the
Secretary of State a copy of the Consulting Engineers'
report on the subject of the most suitable site in Kowloon
for the terminal station of the Kowloon Canton Railway.

not agree with the Governor and his advisors that the site
proposed under scheme No.3 is the most favourable but they
recommend the site proposed under scheme No.2 (shewn on the
enclosed plar No. 2a) as offering greater advantages from
an engineering standpoint, while being equally convenient
from the point of view of the public.
3. They also recommend that whatever scheme may
ultimately be adopted, the necessity of having ample space
for any arrangement of terminal facilities which further
consideration may render desirable is of such importance
that, notwithstanding the additional expense, the Colonial
Government would he well advised to acquire the sites for
both schemes (i.e. the whole strip of land bounded by
Hacdonnel, Des feoux, Hiadle and Salisbury Roads) thus
leaving itself free to make any alteration or extension of
