Extract from the "Inclosure 3 in No. 1. Universal Gazette" of March 15, 1906.
Report of the Special Meeting of Kuangtung Gentry and Merchants on Railway Matters, held at the Ai Yu Charity Association on March 4, 1906.
(Translation.)
FOURTH subject. On the 1st March Viceroy Ts'en wrote to the General Chamber of Commerce that the main line section from Huang Sha to Kao Tang was at the moment unfinished and needed about 60,000 dollars to enable cars to run, and he had engaged a Japanese engineer for six months, at 360 dollars a month for salary and subsistence. The authorities proposed to find the funds and start building, the work to be taken over when the trade shares should have been collected and the official advance repaid out of them.
It was submitted to the meeting whether from the trade instalments paid 60,000 dollars should be provided and a request made to take over the building.
The meeting decided to defer the subject to a future date.
