1907réf. 179096London.: Waterlow & Sons Limited. 1907. Engraved bond in red and black 51.7 x 33 cm central fold corners trimmed elaborate foliated borders signatures of the Viceroy of Canton the Chinese Minister in London and the Director of the Chinese and British Corporation on the verso text in three bordered panels including a finely engraved steam train; together with a separate leaf of coupons approx. 51.2 x 20.5 cm numbered 3 - 20 1 & 2 excised the bond slightly rippled and the outer edge discoloured the coupons with edge toning and staining on the verso and marked £100.0.0 in ink but the both in very good condition. Impressive bond issue with the coupon redemption date running until 1985 !. The Kowloon-Canton Railway KCR was the first cross-border railway connecting Hong Kong with mainland China. "Discussions between the Colonial Office in London the Hong Kong Government and the British & Chinese Corporation led to an agreement in late 1904 that the Hong Kong Government would undertake the financing construction and operation of the section of the line within Hong Kong. The remaining section to Canton Guangzhou was financed through a loan raised by the British & Chinese Corporation on behalf of the Chinese Government which operated the section after its construction by the corporation. Settling the detailed financing arrangements for the British and Chinese sections proved to be complicated because the funding of the British Section as it became known depended on the raising of the loan for the Chinese Section. The arrangements were finally ratified by the Hong Kong Government's passage of the Railway Loans Ordinance in 1905 clearing the way for construction of the British Section. It took until 1907 however for the loan agreement for the Chinese Section to be concluded with the financing being provided by way of a bond issue floated in London in April of the same year. The importance attached to the project was reflected in a speech made to the Hong Kong Legislative Council by the colonial governor Sir Frederick Lugard in 1908: "You will recall that in 1905 it was decided to build the railway by means of a loan. It was not a question of whether the undertaking would be an immediately remunerative concern; it was not a question of whether the railway should pay interest and sinking fund on the capital expended or even if it would at once pay working expenses. It was a question of preserving the predominance of Hong Kong. It was a question of seeing that the final outlet of the main trunk railway should be at Kowloon and at no other place." see Wikipedia entry . Waterlow & Sons Limited. unknown
