Founded on granite, is the safest strata which could be selected. The gorge in which the wall is placed is narrow, having steep sides, and is of sound granite throughout. The wall is also well tied into the granite and the top line of the wall is comparatively short, so that it is fully supported throughout. The steps on the outer face are in excess of the slope as defined from calculations of strength.
The materials of which the wall is composed are exceptionally good, namely granite and Portland Cement, which are put together to form one compact mass of concrete.
Under these conditions, I therefore recommend the raising of the wall an additional 10 feet and no more. This, as is shown, will provide for a storage of about 431 million gallons.
Which, with the Pokfulam Reservoir's about 44 million gallons, will provide storage of water for the colony equal to 475 million gallons (431 + 44 = 475), but stated as 505 million gallons plus the flow from the tributary streams throughout the year, which, with the rainfall, will largely add to this volume. If this water is used under careful supervision, the mains and fittings being preserved sound and tight, the colony will be fully supplied with water of great purity.
In compliance with a request made by me that a calculation should be worked out of the increased volume of water which could be stored by raising the dam wall by 5, 10, 15, and 20 feet, the Surveyor General has prepared a plan, section, and estimate of the reservoir, and has sent over tracings showing the proposed additions to the height of the dam wall. The surface area of the reservoir, with an estimate of the ...

was removed as it seems incomplete and doesn't form a coherent sentence. However, to follow the instructions precisely, it should be indicated as missing or unclear with "...". Thus, the corrected last paragraph should end with an indication of missing content if that's the case. Revised to fit the exact format required and addressing the issues mentioned:Founded on granite, is the safest strata which could be selected.
