30. During the year many repairs and renewals to Government motor vehicles were carried out in the workshops including the following:
Making and erecting 1 Ford Van Body for Import and Export Department.
Overhauling and straightening up Chassis of Sanitary Department Motor Lorry damaged in collision.
Overhauling Kowloon Steam Fire Engine,
Overhauling and rebuilding one old Cadillac Car and making new body for same to seat twelve to act as Fire Tender.
Overhauls to various Police and Fire Brigade Department Motor Cars and Motor Cycles.
31. Lectures were given during the year to European members of the Police and Fire Departments, on construction, upkeep, and running repairs of Motor Vehicles. These lectures were well attended and have been much appreciated by the Police Department.
32. The weight of the trains hauled is steadily on the increase. In 1920, 29,523,031 Ton Miles were run, and the coal used was 57 lbs per Ton Mile. In 1921, 33,415,182 Ton Miles were run, an increase over 1920 of 3,892,151 Ton Miles and the coal used was 56 lbs per Ton Mile, a decrease of 1 lb. per mile.
33. In commemoration of the third anniversary of "Armistice Day" at 11 a.m. on November 11th, all traffic on the line stopped, and in the workshops and elsewhere all motion was suspended for two minutes.
34. The amount provided in the Estimates under Special Expenditure was $382,310, and during the year at various times other amounts were voted, making a total of $726,925.59.
35. A sum of $283,000 was voted for the purchase of two motor coaches and one trailer, but as these coaches did not arrive in the Colony until December, only $246,717.22 was expended. Further, owing to the late delivery from England of steelwork required for the construction of the bridge mentioned in paragraph 5 of this Report, very little work could be done this year, and of the $68,000 provided, only a sum of $1,353.25 was expended.
36. The re-railing of Tunnel No. 2 cost about $8,000 less than was estimated, and as the Loco. Yard at Lowu was not completed at the end of the year, $4,560.70 lapsed under that head.
37. The total expenditure amounted to $580,855.59 and the details are shown in the table of expenditure herein.
38. The Revenue Statements of Earnings and Expenditure follow the line previously adopted. The actual expenditure amounted to $527,991.06 against an estimate of $515,998 which shows an excess of $11,993.06.
