Naval Establishment Hong Kong

Land required 50 acres or 2,178,000 sq. ft.

One acre = 4840 sq. yards, one yard = nine feet

say at $3 per foot = $6,534,000

at Ex. rate of 1/2 = £517,275

add interest; at 5% per annum for ten years

£258,637

money for the old site will not be received for ten years

Cost of Construction say £1,250,000

Interest on same calculated as follows viz.

for 1 year at 5% = £62,500

2nd year £12,500

3rd year £18,750

4th year £25,000

5th & 6th year £31,250 & £37,500

£343,750

Estimated total cost £2,338,412

Note: if site costs more than $3 per foot, the total would be increased accordingly.

It is taken for granted that the machinery would be removed from the old Yard to the new establishment.

The site of the present Naval Yard, including reclamations, docks, basins, etc., contains 39¼ acres = 1,709,730 sq. feet, which would probably realize, including buildings and material, $15 per foot, say $25,645,950

at Exchange rate of 1/7 = £3,663,707 (approx. £3,030,304)
