CANTON-KOWLOON RAILWAY,

Minutes of Meeting (the 8th) held at the Wai Wu Pu on Wednesday

the 10th October at 3.45 p.m.

Present:- S. S. T'ang Shao-yi,

Kung Taotai and Mr. Hu, representing the Viceroy of

Canton.

Mr. Gaw, Secretary to the Wai Wu Pu, and

Mr. J. O. P. Bland, representing the British and Chinese Corporation, Limited.

Discussion of the draft agreement was renewed.

Kung Taotai, referring to the Articles arranged at last

Meeting, suggested certain further verbal amendments of the text, which

were accordingly discussed and agreed to in several instances.

Mr. Bland requested, in view of possible delay in the

negotiations between the Canton Viceroy and Hongkong Government, the in-

clusion of a clause in Article IV providing for an extension of the eighteen months time limit in the event of commencement of construction

work being delayed as the result of causes beyond the power of the

Corporation to prevent, which clause was accordingly inserted.

Article VII. S. S. T'ang Shao-yi desired it to be

clearly stated that the land purchased for railway purposes within the survey limits, should be paid for out of the proceeds of the Loan. Mr. Bland suggested that a maximum sum for such purposes be named, but His

Excellency considered that under the particular conditions of this

agreement this is unnecessary since it is to the undivided interest of

the Chinese Government that the line shall be built as economically as

possible. He stated that in the event of the Loan funds proving insuf-

ficient to complete the railway, the Chinese Government would provide

the balance required.

Article VIII. No discussion.
