of this sum tne British Section takes 39% and the Chinese Saction

taken 055

... the British Soction takes 2460,380 end the Chinese

takes 2009, 300.

br. Limizey estiautes the working ag nees of the British Section et /193,000 per emim end of the Chinese Gection at X500,CE per witd. De further estimates that one-third of the working opensos on each section will be due to local wwwffic. Therefore, the annual working expenses due to through traffic on the Brising Section will 3128,567 eni on the Chinsae Segbion X338,334.

The capital cost of the British Section is agreed to be X10,533,000 end of the Chinese Saotion 215,150,000.

de therefore get the folloving results:-

It is clear therefore that a division in the ratio of 34 Bri-ish to GX Chinese on all passenger traffic is alicatly to advantage of the Chinese Section, and that my further reduction la the Britisn percentage would be unfair to our Section.
