this, and was the best in all respecte. The proposals re-

Shops were negligible from a Railway point of view, and
on the whole seemed not worth consiä.ration. The total
cost is about $13,000 per annum and as the Goverment

it would be in corpetition with sho Star Ferry and other
private companies for traffic unconnected with the Railway

not only to the Kowloon Station but nime to Yximati Station
two distinct services. It nuat acquire a Railway Pier in
Victoria and non exista, with many other difficulties. Mr.
Sarry mugeusted & charge per capitus on all panzengers

should be started, and it would be ragun.ad. It was agreed
that the sizplest way would probably be to increase pier
ents from the date of the opening of the Railway, and to
call for triennial returns of profits and traffic and
