A staff consisting of one Sapper as Clerk and Chinese Overseer, and two Coolies for general work in connection with it would be sufficient for present wants.
It would be advisable to have a sapper well able to read and write so as to keep efficient records in Kowloon of the various papers which the officer would have to transmit to this Department from time to time.
Provision is made in the Colonial Estimates for two Sappers, one Overseer and one Chinese Messenger, the extra charges such as necessarily be brought forward in a supplementary form.
The works contemplated for this year not having been commenced and some of them impossible even to begin yet, it is not likely that the expenditure on Kowloon as given in gross in the Estimates, will be exceeded, so that
