Finally it will be noted that under Head 36 allowance is made for Interest and Sinking Fund for the whole $5,000,000 loan authorised by the Legislature. It will be remem- bered that $3,000,000, only has so far been floated.

COMPARES WELL The Budget as framed and now put before you represents there fore an expenditure of $24,799,650 with a possible call on liquid reserves of $2,521,050 and a reserve balance of $2,056,860, a position which com pares well with the position as fore- shadowed when the Budget for 3928 was introduced and when the figure for expenditure was $22,188,045, involving an anticipated drain of $2,079,655 on our surpluses, and a liquid reserve balance of only some $500,000.

RAILWAY, VOLUNTEERS. Little need be said on Head 82, Kowloon-Canton Railway. We are doing everything that is possible to assist the Canton section and to ensure safe and continuous through running of trains, and further we undertake considerable work in the way of upkeeping the rolling stock of the Canton section. This work is paid for and we receive hire for the loan of auch engines

The Colonial Secretary then moved the first reading of "An Ordinance to apply a sum not ex-! ceeding $19,478,964 to the Public Service of the year 1929." The Colonial Treasurer (the Hon. Mr. C. Mcl. Messer, O.B.E.) seconded and the bill passed its first rend-
