7. Two alternate positions for the loop line have been surveyed, (a) north and clear of Canton City, and (b) partially along the site of the demolished wall. The Corporation remains willing to undertake the work but the Provincial Government has up to now refused its consent.

8.

Yours sincerely,

C.S. ADDIS.
