With reference to despatch No 86 of
February 20th last on the subject of the claim prosented
on behalf of the Goverment of Hongkong on account of
the suspension of traffic on the Canton-Kowloon railway Vai Ching Fu June 20,1912” from November 7 to Decuber 13 last, I have the honour
to report that on February 21st I received a reply from
the Wai Chino Pu acknowledging the liability of the
Chinese authorities under the Working Agreement, but
stating that they must await the report of the Canton-
Kowloon Railway Office before the exact sun due could
be fixed.
On June 2nd I received from the Officer Admin-
istering the Government of Hongkong a revised estimate
of the claim, whereby the amount was reduced from
87.432-50 to 86,971-50. It had been found that the
total of 85,731-48 per mensen had been emoneously
divided by 31 days instead of by 334 days
