The additional berth cast $40,000. Subsequently discus- Bion rose as to end loading of passengers on the Vehicular Ferrs and as a result of agreement be tween all the technical representa- tíves concerned a scheme was:
evolved which included alterations to the waiting areas and construc

SYDNEY, Dec. 1.
Farmers in every part of the New Territories are sending or have sent entrire in large numbers to com- pete under the various headings. and a very gratifying feature of this year's exhibition is the fact that although it is being held fairly early in the season, there is no want of entries in any section,
Those who have seen the show in former years will no doubt like to see just what progress has been made by local farmers under the guidance and assistance of the So ciety. For those who have yet to see the local agricultural show, a visit to Shengshui will prove an eye opener as it is difficult to be- lieve that in this small British Territory so many varieties of veget- ables and fruiti are being grown, some of which re peculiar to this part of the world.
Fruits and Vegetables,
For instance, under the "Roots ' section there are competitions for Yanta Ginger Taro, Turnipe, Galladium. Water Chestnuts, Lily Roots, sweet potatoes, Sha Kot and Fill Hot In the fruit section.

The total cost therefore amounted to 8270,000 against the original sum of $230,000 -allowed,
of $20,000. Furthermore the salaries and allow- ances of officers of the Public Works permanent staff directly em- ployed on this work were not allow- ed for in the original estimate and amount to $95,000 for the period 1st January, 1031, to 31st Decem ber, 1932, and are estimated at $12,000 during 1033 or a total of $107,000. A no provision made under Public Works Personal Emoluments it will be recollected that in 1931 Council approved (Messago No. 8 item No: 37) of a supplementary vote of $200,921 in respect of salaries of officers cm- ployed on loan works being tem- porarily charged to Personal Emolu- ments. An adjustancat is necessary.

Summing up, the financial posi- tion is as follows:-

An Extra $179,000.
It will be seen, therefore that the total cost of the Ferry Piers will be $170,000 more than the original revised estimate, largely owing to the salaries of the permanent staff not having been included, and I -propose to nek for a supplementary. appropriation next year
The resolution I am about to mova, however, in neccssitated by the bulk of the expenditure for the Vehicular Ferry failing in the cur- rent year.
Council by resolutions dated 16th July, 1931, and 10th December, 1831, Apportioned $720,000. fer, 1931, and 8770,000 for 1932, respectively! The actual expenditure in 1931, however, only amounted to $417,907 or $310,003 less than voted, whereas the expenditure this year will be p proximately 1,060,000 or $200,000 more than the sum, yoted.

In addition to the competition, in which, incidentally, Lady Ho Tung, who has on former occasions bagged" many prizes by her ex- cellent exhibits, will be competing, there will be several stalls exhibit- ing fruits and vegetables which are not for competition. These are mainly from sellers of fertilisers, the principal exhibitors under this heading being the Overzeesche Kali Export Mij of Amsterdam and the Chinese Agricultural Development Company.
One exhibitor has sent to the show seven caes of Hong Kong Butterflies, which is sure to draw the attention of visitors to the fair.
