The distance from North Point (close by Whitfield Station) to Green Island Point is about 150 yards short of

the
greatest
depth of water would be ten fathoms, the cost of one mile of cable (1.05 tons per mile) would be £150 or about $800. As junks and vessels

along the proposed line,
which is the limit of the harbors, I do not anticipate much danger from the anchors of vessels, although fishing boats might have to be

The distance from Hung Hom land to Hung Hom Station is about half a mile - from Green Island Station to the New Water Police Station 1/4 miles,
from there to Yau Ma Tei Station 1 mile. For this connection poles and land wire only would be necessary.
