THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH DECEMBER, 1886.
W. H. MARSII.
(2.)
The Officer Adininistering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum of $12,176 to pay the expenses incurred in making good the damages caused by the rain-storm of the 15th of July last, to roads, streets, bridges, and sewers.
In former years the practice has been to assess the damages at the time, and apply for a supplementary vote. This year, however, this practice has been deviated from, and the alter- native adopted of seeing how far the ordinary votes for Public Works could be made to meet this extraordinary demand, leaving the balance only, which could not be met from ordinary sources, to be voted as Extraordinary Expenditure.
The detailed List of these Storm damages is annexed:-
