He is at present engaged, at the request
of the Director-General in Peking, in drawing up a detailed
estimate of the cost of construction.
Materials have been accumulated and all
preparations made to commence the building of the permanent way
as soon as the rainy season is over, which will probably be
about the beginning of September. Unless, however, the rate at
which land is at present being acquired can be considerable
accelerated, work will be stopped in a few months time for
want of land.
M
Grove has brought this state of affairs
to the notice of the Director-General in an official report.
The progress of the Railway is being
hampered in another direction, in this case due to the action
of the Chinese Administration.
The Director-General, relying on the clause
in Article IX of the Loan Agreement, which provides that, with
a view to encouraging Chinese Industries, Chinese materials are
to be preferred, insists that all orders for railway materails
shall first be submitted to the Tong Shan and other iron and
steel works for tender. As many of the materials required
cannot be supplied by these works, it simply means that the
placing of the order with a home manufacturer is delayed while
the local manufacturers are being communicated with. As a case
in point, Mr. Grove mentioned that he had requested permission to purchase some steel caissons for bridge work from a firm in
England who made a speciality of these articles, the steel
plates of which the caissons were composed being unobtainable
in China. The request was refused by the Director-General, who,
quoting the clause above referred to, instructed Mr. Grove to
place the order with a local firm. This will be done and as a
consequence the delivery of the caissons will be delayed by at least two months, as the plates must be imported from England.
