You will be aware that, on behalf of our clients,

The Hongkong Tramway Company of Hong Kong, Ltd, an electric

tramway from Victoria to Sau-ki-wan is being constructed under

our direction.

When our Mr Dickinson was in Kowloon in 1901 it appeared to

him that if Kowloon developed it might be possible to work an

electric tramway there in conjunction with that in Hong Kong.

We have since, through our representative in Hong Kong, been

discussing the matter with our friends in Hong Kong, Sir Paul

Chater.

Sir Paul is somewhat doubtful

as to whether a tramway

in Kowloon would be justified unless it was extended, in the form of

an electric light railway, to Sam-shun.

We are reluctant to incur the expense of a detailed survey to

that place without first ascertaining whether, in the event of our

asking for a concession authorising the construction of an electric

tramway in Kowloon, with an extension to Sam-shun, such an application

would be favourably received and considered by His Majesty's

Government so far as British Territory is concerned: further,

whether there would be any objection on the part of His Majesty's

Government to the continuation of the line from the British

boundary to Sau-chun, if not, whether the Government would give

assistance and advice in connection with any negotiations which

may be necessary with the Chinese Authorities.
