The Chairman: The excess on the maintenance of roads and bridges outside the City is due to the heavy cost of maintaining the section of Pokfulum Boad between No. 10 bridge and Aberdeen-that is, on the other side of the Dairy Farm-also in Victoria Road. It is a new piece of road and the surfacing was not of the permanent nature of other parts of the coad. Among other things there was some heavy traffic saused by a new bus service and heavy vehicles travelling between Repulse Bay sud Hongkong. That would not have injured the road had it been of a par manent nature. A considerable sum
