I have the honour, in accordance with
Colonial Regulation 281 to request your covering
authority for the expenditure of the sum of $10,873
in supplementation of Head 26 (Kowloon-Canton Railway),
Sub-Head 43 shown on page 78 of the Estimates for 1934.

Provision was made under this Sub-Head
for reconditioning in England one locomotive boiler
at an estimated cost of $17,143.
Owing to the increase during 1934 of
traffic on the Kowloon-Canton Railway it was found
necessary in the course of the year to send an addition-
al boiler to England for reconditioning.

The actual cost was not known until the
full accounts were received in January of this year.
The additional expenditure was recommended by the
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
