Votes totalling $1,608,673, including $1,201,120 for the closing estimates of the past year and $437,447 for 1030, were approved at a meeting of the Finance Committee which followed the Counell.
The estimates for 1938 Included $34,184 for the transport of Govern- ment servants, and this WAR COM mented upon by the Hon. Mr. S. H. Dodwell, who said: It is surprising to me how they under-estimated first there were $150,000 and now $34,000,
The Financial Secretary: It is very difficult to tell sometimes when newly-appointed officers are going to come out.
The Chairman (Hon. Mr. N. L. Smith): The ordinary leave la caster. The Financial Secretary: Even then it is difficult because I have had occasion to think of two or three oft- cers who had to be sent Home on medical grounds.
The supplementary votes for 1830 Included special grants of $180,000 to the Tung Wah Hospital and
$18,700 to the Emergency Relief Council.
