39.-22, Medical Department :-Special Expenditure.
Apparatus
A sum of $10,000 was inserted in the 1934 Estimates for this service. Of this amount $1,100 was spent locally in installing one development tank leaving $8,900 for the purchase through the Crown Agents of the X-Ray Apparatus. This was not shipped and paid for until February, 1935 and the cost amounting to $7,450 (allowing for local charges of say $102) has to be met from a revote.
A supplementary vote of $7,450 is therefore requested.
(C.S.O. 20 in 220/34).
40.—34, Public Works Extraordinary: Hong Kong, Miscellaneous, Laying and constructing area for Matshed Piggeries, Kennedy Town
On 27th September, 1934, the Finance Committee approved expendi- ture of the sum of $3,500 for the preparation of a new area for the pig dealers' matsheds situated at Kennedy Town near the Dangerous Goods' Godowns of the China Provident Loan & Mortgage Company, Limited. The area has now been prepared, and it is necessary to remove the exist- ing matsheds to the new area. It is considered that Government should pay for the removal. The cost of this is estimated at $1,300.
The unexpended balance on last year's vote was $1,143.
A supplementary vote of $1,300 is therefore requested.
(C.S.O. 3933/34).
* 41.-24, Botanical and Forestry Department:--9, Library.
Provision made in Estimates (page 70 sub-head 9) ...$
300
A complete set of the Curtis's Botanical Magazine is very desirable for the library of the Botanical and Forestry Department, in which there are already 115 out of 158 volumes. It has not been possible to obtain the missing volumes during the past 30 years. Second-hand original back numbers (Vols. 71-100) are now offered at £65 the lot and as this oppor- tunity may never occur again, a supplementary vote for $650 is requested.
The above is to be met from savings under sub-head 7 Forestry Reserve $350, sub-head 13 Transport $300 (1935 Estimates page 70 sub-heads 7 and 13).
(C.S.O. 2 in 4729/35).
