The Hon, Colonial Seerotary moved the second reading of a bill intituled "An Ordinance to au- thorise the appropriation of a supplementary sum of $832,249. 62 cents to defray the charges of the year 1925."

On page 12 under the same Head, the original estimate of $9,000 for the running expenses of motor-cars is shown to have been exceeded by $11,008, or an in- crease of 120 per cent.;. and the explanation given is that the item was under-estimated. Knowing แฮ I do the care which the Treasury, has always exercised in the preparation of estimates, 1 cannot believe that this enormous excess could have been due entire ly to under-estimating. But the Hon. Colonial Treasurer can tell us whether the explanation insert- ed against the item is adequate or доб.
Icould also be congratulated on having ample funds available to meet the heavy expanditure which was incurred. He might add for the information of Council that... made to assure that the estimates every possible effort was being for next year were prepared with"
