HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
MOTIONS.
THE COLONIAL TREASURER.--The Resolutions standing in my name are in connection with expenditure on the Wireless Telegraph Station at the Air Port, Kai Tak, and on the Second Cross Harbour Pipe. Provision is made in the current Estimates on page 114 Appendix V (B). Honourable Members will remember that when various resolutions were taken on 12th October, 1933, (Hansard 1933 p. 145) the Honourable the Colonial Secretary stated that resolutions for these works would be taken when the authority of the Secretary of State had been obtained.
This has now been received.
I therefore move:
on
(a) That this Council approves of the expenditure of $95,000 Air Port-Wireless Telegraph Station during the financial year 1934 which sum shall be met from a future loan and shall meanwhile 'be charged as an advance from the surplus balances of the Colony.
(b) That this Council approves the construction of a Second Cross Harbour Pipe at an estimated cost of $375,000.
fe) That this Council authorises the said sum of $375,000 to be charged to a future loan and sanctions an advance of $323,000 on account of this work during the financial year 1934 from the surplus balances of the Colony.
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded and the resolution was agreed to.
