ongkong Government Laim Clause 19.

Clause 20.

SUBJECT.

Re. loss of earnings owing to suspension of through traffic due to Hongkong Government from November 7th. to 13th. December 1911.

We think that the claim can only be made out in strict accordance with Clause 7 (f) of the

Working Agreement.

The Hongkong Government have based their average daily earnings on gross receipts from date of opening 5th. October to date of closing 7th. November. We consider this method incorrect and should have been compiled from 5th. October to 31st. October. We therefore show the Hong- kong'Government's share of traffic as booked by

them to be as follows:-

October 5th 1911 to October 7th 1911
