Kowloon Canton Railway British Section

Gentlemen,

In continuation of our letter to you of the 15th instant, we have the honour to report that we have now given our full consideration to Mr Bruce's report and estimates for the construction of the British section of the Kowloon Canton Railway and we now beg to submit our remarks thereon.

We may recall to your recollection that Mr Bruce submits preliminary estimates for three different railways as under:-

Railway No.1, which has been termed the "Low Level Eastern Route" from Kowloon to Lo Wu, a length of 21 miles.

Railway No.2, which has been termed the "Western Route" between the same points, a length of 34 miles,

and

Railway No.3, a suggested branch line from Fan Ling Station on Railway No.1 to Un Long, the centre of a well-cultivated district to the west of Railway No.1, the length being 8.4 miles.

For the reasons very clearly set forth by His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong in his confidential despatch
