Mr. Valpy has applied to be em-
-ployed on construction work when this is put in hand
under the Consulting Engineers and I should be glad if his
application can be acceded to.

Mr. Bruce is leaving behind him
in addition to copies of the plans, sections and estimates
communicated to you in my Confidential Despatch of the
20th. October, 1905, cadastral plans showing the land
required for the railway. All of this land to the North of
the Kowloon Hills and most of it to the South of those
hills has already been resumed. When the resumption is
complete I will report to Your Lordship fully with regard
to it.

The sections finally settled for
the 7 miles of line from Tai Po to the Lo Pu Ferry, the
construction of which by local labour is proceeding
satisfactorily under the Public Works Department, are in
the hands of that Department. Full working drawings and a
detailed estimate for the whole line will no doubt be
received in due course from the Consulting Engineers and a
complete account of the cost of the survey from the Crown
Agents.
