569 Kowloon-Canton Railway British Section. Reconnaissance & Location Surveys.

Gentlemen,

We beg to enclose herewith a statement of the agreed fee for our reports on the result of the Reconnaissance Surveys for the above and of the Location Survey together with particulars of the expenses incurred.

The statement of expenses (which include not only the cost of the Reconnaissance Surveys but also that of the Location Survey of the selected route) shows that the amount expended in England for passage monies, equipment (including surveying instruments), proportion of Engineers' salaries, &c amounted to £1,480.15.6 and that the sum of £1,297.8.11 was expended in the Colony.

Mr. Bruce submitted to His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong statements showing how the monies remitted from this Country were expended in the Colony up to the completion of the Reconnaissance Surveys and subsequently. Of the total expenditure in the Colony approximately one-half was in respect of the Reconnaissance Surveys and we think (if it be desired to divide the total expenditure between the Reconnaissance and Location Surveys) that one moiety of such expenditure may be allocated to each.

With regard to the Equipment both in England and in the Colony -1-.

Reconnaissance & Location Surveys.

Gentlemen,

We beg to enclose herewith a statement of the

agreed fee for our reports on the result of the Reconnaissance

Surveys for the above and of the Location Survey together

with particulars of the expenses incurred.

The statement of expenses (which include not only

the cost of the Reconnaissance Surveys but also that of the

Location Survey of the selected route) shows that the amount

expended in England for passage monies, equipment (including surveying instruments), proportion of Engineers salaries, &c

amounted to £1,480.15.6 and that the sum of £1,297.8.11

was expended in the Colony.

Mr. Bruce submitted to His Excellency the Governor of

Hong Kong statements showing how the monies remitted from

this Country were expended in the Colony up to the comple-

tion of the Reconnaissance Surveys and subsequently. Of the

total expenditure in the Colony approximately one-half was in

respect of the Reconnaissance Surveys and we think (if it

be desired to divide the total expenditure between the Re-

connaissance and Location Surveys) that one molety of such

expenditure may be allocated to each.

With regard to the Equipment both in England and in the

Colony
