The proceeds of the Loan shall be deposited with the issuing Bank,
to be nominated and guaranteed by the Contractors, to the credit of
a Canton Chungking Railway Account on such terms as may be mutually
arranged in the Detailed Agreement referred to in Article 17.
When the work of construction is ready to begin a sum equal to the
estimated expenditure in China for six months shall be transferred to
a Bank in China to be mutually agreed upon and there placed to the
credit of a Canton Chungking Railway Account to be operated upon by the
Corporation under certificates signed by the Chief Accountant and the
Chief Engineer. This amount of estimated expenditure for six months
shall be maintained by subsequent monthly transfers so that, as far
as possible, there shall always be six months estimated expenditure in
China on deposit in a Bank in China to be mutually agreed upon.
ARTICLE VIII
Immediately after the signing of the Detailed Agreement, the
Corporation will establish a Head Office at Canton for the Canton
Chungking Railway. This Office will be under the direction of a
Chinese Managing Director to be appointed by the Corporation, with
whom will be associated a British Engineer-in-Chief and a British Firm
of Public Accountants, of recognized standing, whose representative
shall be Chief Accountant (hereinafter called "the Chief Accountant").
These British Employes shall be nominated by the Corporation and the
Contractors, jointly, and shall be appointed by the Corporation. Their
dismissal shall take place, only, with the joint approval of the
Corporation and the Contractors.
It is understood that the duties to be performed by these employes are
intended to promote the mutual interests of the Corporation and the
Bondholders respectively, and it is therefore agreed that all cases of
difference arising therefrom shall be referred for amicable adjustment
between the Corporation and the Representative of the Contractors. The
salaries and other terms of Agreement of the Engineer-in-chief and the
Chief Accountant shall be arranged between the Corporation and the
Contractors; and the amount of their salaries, etc., shall be paid out
of the general accounts of the Railway.
