Plan (1) would of course avoid all difficulty in respect of

dual control of foreign jurisdiction. But it is questionable

whether it would be wise administrative policy to burden the

revenue of the Colony with a recurring annual working deficit,

in addition to the interest charges on the Railway Loan. The

20 miles of the British section, if worked as a separate under-

-taking would require a full complement of staff. For effective

supervision the irreducible minimum, would suffice to work five

times the mileage. And in actual practice it would be found

that the working expenses, under this arrangement would equal

if they did not exceed the traffic receipts, contributed by the

mileage of the British section itself.

There may perhaps be political or adminis-

-trative reasons why the British section should be self contain-

-ed and self controlled, but such reasons will doubtless out-

-weigh any considerations of mere profit or loss in railway

working.
