ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS,
Hongkong17... September, 1927.
REPORT ON ORDINANCE No....24...
...................of 192 7.
1.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled an Ordinance
to make provision for a loan of five million dollars for the
carrying cut of certain public works, and I am of opinion
that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Gover-
nor's instructions.
2.
The object of this Ordinance is to give the Governor
power to raise a loan of $5,000,000 for the purposes speci-
fied in the Schedule to the Ordinance, namely :-
(1) Water works development
(2) Aerodrome and harbour development
(3) other public works.
*
$3,500,000
1,000,000
·
500,000
!
3.
The first item relates to the Shing Mun water scheme,
and the figure of $3,500,000 is believed to be a fairly close
estimate.
