SAILORS HOME TO BE CONVERTED INTO POLICE STATION: A TEMPORARY MEASURE.
The Finance Committee of the Legislative Council will be asked this afternoon to grant votes totalling 899,747 for purposes which are set out below.
The biggest item, it will be seen, is one for $30,000 for the purchase of a broadcast transmitter, it being explained that the present one is obsolete and of insufficient power.
The Sailors' Home at West Point is to be converted into a police station and the sum of 819,850 is being asked for the purpose of alterations to the existing building to make it suit- able for occupation as a police station, patil such time as it is possible to provide funds for the rebuilding of the present Yo. Police Station..
The sum of 80,000 is required to provide extra clothing for prisoners in winter.

37-23. Police Force:-14, in- cidental expenses. Ammuni- tion lockers for launches... $350 Provision made in estimates (page 40 sub-head .14), 83,000.
The naval authorities Having been asked to inspect the arracge incats on board Nos. 2 and 4 police cruising launches for storing am- munition bave reported that these are insuficient and dangerous and recommend the provision of special ammunition lockers. The estimat ed cost of two lockers is $330 and it is probable that this unforeseen expenditure will cause an excess on the above vote,``
A supplementary vote for $350 is accordingly requested.
The above is to be met from" savings under rations. for Indian Police (1930 estimates, page 40 súb head 29). (C.5.0. 3494/9). 35.-23, Medical Department:
Special expenditure. Ad justment and calibration of labratory instruments...."8390 The laboratory instruments which were sent to England for repair and adjustment were not completed and returned in time for their pay- ment to be included in 1929 count The, sum voted for this purpose in the 1929 estimates, viz. $500 has therefore lapsed. The ar. rival of Crown. Agents accounts for January necessitates this request for a revote of $320. (0.8.0. 21 in 12/98)-

The existing broadcast transmit- ter (purchased in 1924 and first used in 1993) is now obsolete and of insufficient power. It is recom mended that a new modern trans- mitter be obtained
In addition to ordinary broad- casting it is found that broadenst ing by WT is the most antisfactory. mears of disseminating weather ro ports and storm warnings.

The excess of $2,700 over the original estimate for the work is eapsed by the fact that the widen ing of the bridge at Sheung Shui proved more expensive than was originally estimated as it was found accessary to rebuild one of the
abutments.
