Inadequate Labour Supply. As regards the item Roads to which the hon. member referred, the Government, felt that there was no urgent necessity to pro- ceed with the work of extending the roads to their full width but reasonable access was provided to all lots. Owing to an inadequate labour supply, the work could not be completed until this year. Does that cover all your points with regard to public works, Mr. Braga?

It has to do with the lighting of the Peninsula. On the total of $53,000 voted for the lighting of Kowloon,, a saving for 1928 is shown of $6,549.28, or over 10 per cent. No explanation is given for this saving.
