traffic are likely to present themselves, and when an
agreement may have to be arrived at as to the joint working of the two sections. It will also be desirable, in con-

3. You will remember that in their letter of the 25th January 1906 (last paragraph), a copy of which was transmitted to you with our letter E/261/2 of the 30th January 1906, Sir J.W. Barry & Partners proposed that in the event of their services being required after the railway was opened for traffic, they should receive an annual salary of £500 with repayment of office expenses.
With
the fuller knowledge now available of the probable work
to us of the railway this sum seems too high. We have according-
ly been in communication with Sir John Wolfe Barry & Partners and as a result they have agreed, should it be desired to retain their services to the revised terms set 9th Jan/11 forth in the enclosed copy of their letter to us of the
9th January.
4. These terms appear to us very reasonable and, in the event of it being desired to retain Messrs Wolfe Barry & Partners as Consulting Engineers for the Kowloon- Canton Railway, we recommend their adoption.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your Obedient Servant
