2. The original classification by me en 21.7.14 provided

for 8 A class Busya, 12 B olans Bueye and 20 0 class Busys, but

it has been found mosssary to cater for the requirements of

the Rice and Goal Anchorages more extensively, hence the extra

8 Buoys shown. The redistributies of the Central Fairway

Bueyago as per classification chart attached has been oare ind

out and all Buoys have been painted and mmbered. The two Busys

marking the Eastern Linit of the Central Fairway have been

painted white, so as to show them up mere olearly at night.

This is for the benefit of Kowloon Ferries.

5. Although there has been ze case of arbitration and

I think generally speaking the Busy owners are satisfied with

the prices paid, yet this scheme entailed a very considerable

smount of labour for over a year, during which time I have had

the most loyal co-operation from Mr. Davey, the Aoting Assistant

Harbour Master, who has been ready at all times Sundays and

Holidays and whenever required, to see the Kerings surveyed,

marked and laid as quickly as possible.

4. I give a list of revenus derived from the Busys

during the first six months of this year against no

expenditures for upkeep during that time,
