VOTE OF MONEY REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:-
W. H. MARSH.
The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the following sum, viz.:-$450 to enable the Sanitary Board to carry out the special cleansing of tenements within the city.
The Board, with the approval of the Government, has decided that the Chinese community should be invited to give their dwellings a thorough special cleansing three times a year, such cleansings to take place as near to the 1st February, 1st June, and 1st October, as their festivals will permit; the Government rendering assistance in the way of supplying additional water, and providing additional facilities for the removal of refuse.
The Board estimate that each of these cleansings will cost $150, and the sum now recommended is to enable the Board to defray the expenses incurred under this heading during 1886.
During the last special cleansing, 180 tons above the average daily quantity of refuse were removed in this way.
Government House, Hongkong, 16th March, 1886.
The Acting Colonial Secretary moved that this vote be referred to the Finance Committee. The Colonial Treasurer seconded.
Question-put and passed.
