In the 12th. paragraph of my Con-

※

-fidential Despatch of the 20th. October, 1905, on the

subject of the survey and preliminary work for the section

of the Canton-Kowloon Railway within British Territory, I

stated that the question of the extent and nature of the

reclamation required for the Kowloon terminus of that line

required careful working out and that I had placed that

matter in the hands of Mr. J. F. Boulton, Senior Executive

Engineer in the Public Works Department and formerly the

Engineer of the Praya Reclamation Works.

2.

I have now the honour to forward

a copy of a letter from Mr. W. Chatham, M.I.C.E., Director

of Public Works, covering preliminary drawings and estimates

drawn up by Mr. Boulton for a scheme of reclamation to

provide a site for a passenger station and goods depot in

Hunghom Bay on the East side of the Kowloon Peninsula.
