But it will not be fong at the present rate of increase before we shall have to make use of the 5,000 kilowatt set the first portion of which is due bare about February and the remainder by June.

As will be seen from the accounts there has been a heavy outlay in connection with the installation of the 3,000 kilowatt set and boiler house extension. The ex- penses incurred cover the cost of the 3,000 kilowatt set, four boilers with economizer. induced draft fan, chimney. feed pumps and auxiliaries, also part cost of foundations for the new 5,000 kilowatt set on order.

A number of extensions have been nude to underground mains to enable us to cope with the demand on our system in the Yaumati and Mongkok Districts. Within the next twelve months we shall have to make provision for considerably extending our anderground feeder system in all districts and this we estimate will entail an expenditure of approximately $35,000.
