Copy of Statement of Calculation forwarded by Ministry of
Communications.

traffic; that the average daily receipts for the preceding month of that year amounted to One Hundred and Sixty-three dollars and eighteen cents, making the total compensation due for five days Eight hundred and fifteen dollers and ninety cents.

The original Memorandum further quotes a communication from the Governor of Hongkong to the effect that, owing to the disturbed state of the districts through which the line runs, it
was not possible to resume through traffic until until December
14. It adds the provision of Article 7 of the Working Agreement that compensation for suspension of through traffic shall be paid by the Government requesting such suspension at a daily rate of
half the average gross receipts of the other Section on through traffic for the corresponding month of the previous year. It goes
on to state that the average gross receipts on through traffic of
the British Section for the Lonth preceding November 7th. amounted
to three hundred and seventy dollars per diem, or, by a reduction of one-half, to One hundred and eighty-five dollars, and that the
amount due as compensation for the suspension of traffic for 36
days is equal to Six thousand seven hundred and fifty (siç n.b.
