and a wasteful working on the British - Joint Working would

tend to equalise the expense of running the Workshops. In this

connection it would be as well to point out that if full advan-

tage is to be taken of our Contract with the China Light and

Power the more work we do in our shops the cheaper the cost of

current will be so that if the two Sections be worked jointly,

we could afford to do work for the Chinese Section at a cheaper

rate than they can de it themselves. Again if developement

demanded the building of more Stock, the Chinese Workshops in

themselves would be unable to cope with it.

(s). Convenient Running Lengths both as regards fuel and staff

can be attained. An economical run for an engine without shift-

ing staff/long waits on the Road is 230 miles which represents

and backs approximately the run from Kowloon to Canton book. Under a

separate management the changing of engines at Sam Chin and the

long waits between trains would be uneconomical, to the British

in a greater; and to the Chinese in « lesser degree.

Under Joint Working the engines could either be changed

at the half way point or might run through the Sections from

and to end. The Chinese engines cannot haul a full train load

over the British gradiente, but banking engines such as those

now used by Hessra Leigh & Orange would help the Chinese through

邏

our Section, while our engines would only require extra coal

in their tender or on the Road. Without the details of the

Rolling Stock on the Chinese Section I cannot go into this

matter further,

(5.) The most essential however is that under one administration

traffic would be worked in the best interests of the two Section/

for it is only possible by concerted action to capture the traf»

fio from Canton which now comes down by stemmer, to which the

imposition of unduly high rates on either Section, and the

discomfort to passengers and delay attendunts on long waite
