I hope to have these sidings arranged

for before I send home my indent. They will form the subject of subsidiary estimates and will have to stand on their own

merits.

I have not gone in for anything very elaborate for the outside stations. In Kowloon Station, I have not estimated for a Station Building as the size and position of this is not yet settled. The size will

depend largely on the method of future Railway management, the Administration offices should be on the first floor. The ground

floor should be given up to Ticket Offices, Waiting Rooms,

Refreshment Rooms &c. Until it has been decided whether the

deep sea wall is to be built or not I cannot draw out a complete

estimate for this station.

For goods accommodation I am allowing

one ground floor shed 300 feet by 100 feet with 1,000 ft. of Platform. I am allowing for an engine shed for four engines

and a carriage washing shed with pits to examine the bogies.

For outside stations I am only allowing

one building on one side of the line only with separate quarters

for the Station Master and Signaller.

For Taipo I am allowing a small goods

shed with jetty with ash pits and watering arrangements. These

latter may be necessary, but if engines are charged at the

frontier, I think it might be possible to get engines capable

of negotiating the heavy grades without watering at Taipo.

The $234,067 booked against this

Main Head represents the depreciated value of construction

plant after the construction is complete. In the case of

tunnel plant about 42% depreciation has been charged against

works. This is sufficient I consider as the plant for the tunnel

is not shipped about to the same extent as Bridge Building

Plant.
