FINANCE VOTES.

THE CHINA MAIL,

ITEMS BEFORE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

NEARLY 21⁄2 LAKHS FOR 1928.

**Thirty items, totalling nearly 214 lakhs of dollars, came before the Finance Committee at the conclusion of the meeting of the Legislative Council this afternoon. These all come under the heading of supplementary expenditure for this year.

$4,300 is needed for repairs to Police Pier, Kowloon Point, to make good the damage of last July.

To rehouse the villagers of Wong-nei-chong village (at the head of Happy Valley), $7,000 is asked for. The inhabitants, of the village, it is interesting to note, trace their connection with Hong Kong back through many generations. They were flooded out more than once.

Because the architectural office in the Public Works Department was too busy, the plans for the new Infectious Diseases Hospital at Mount Davis were drawn up by an outside firm. $1,000 is wanted to pay the fee.

You will be astonished at the number and type of silly questions put to you in all good faith. And you will have to admit reluctantly (if only to yourself) that you are not quite certain, Will you be believed though? Keep in touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland China Mail sent to you for a stipulated period.
