WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
NEXT work the Legislative Council will meet to discuss the Estimates for 1931 at least, we assume there will be a debate. The last time we anticipated an interesting discus sion in the Council Chamber not a single word was spoken in comment upon the speech submitting a motion for approval. If a Voto of 13 lakhs can be swiftly and silently dealt with, there is no reason why a Vote for 23 million dollars could not be similarly disposed of. The Colonial Secretary has introduced the Budget, and its adoption has been duly seconded. Asked whether an adjournment until. October 16 would give Unofficial Members of the Council sufficient time to con-

have been struck out, representing a saving of $172 per annum, while personal emoluments generally show an increase for 1931 of 84,500 over the figures for 1030.
