COUNCIL VOTES

FINANCE COMMITTEE TO PASS $60,366

$25,000 FOR TANKS

At a meeting this afternoon the Finance Committee of the Legisla tive Council will be asked to con- sider the following supplemental votes for the 1929 estimates:-

Pump for Fire Brigade Fire Brigade:Light Pump, $11,366.

Motor

One light motor pump was order ed through the Crown Agents in 1928. Owing to delay in delivery the pump was not received until this year. Payment for the pump is being made by the Crown Agents this year.

Amount voted in 1928 Estimates for light motor pump, $10,500, lapsed.

The actual cost has proved to be $866 in excess of the original estimate.

A supplementary vote for $11,366 is requested.

Water Tanks

Public Works, Extraordinary:- Hong Kong Waterworks, Expendi- ture on Storage Tanks, etc. due to drought, $25,000.

Owing to the continued drought it has been necessary to take steps to-conserve the water supply on the Island.

Finance Committee approved the tanks from purchase of storage England and expenditure on contin- gent works.

Four tanks have been obtained and erected in the Western part of the City at a cost of about $10,000 and are in operation.

A vote is therefore requested to cover this expenditure together with the hire of water boats to bring the water from Kowloon and operations generally connected with

the water conserving

supply. (C.S.0, 106 in 46/28.)

Refuse Barges Sanitary Department: Special Expenditure: Two Light Refuse Barges, $14,000.

THE CHINA MAI1

Provision has been made for the replacement of two seagoing refuse barges by a vote of $46,000. This estimate, made last year, was for a more expensive type of barge than Immediate that at present in use. replacement is necessary as the existing barges are old; but it is thought undesirable (while the whole question of continuing deep sea dumping is under considera. tion) to purchase the more expen- sive type. It is accordingly pro posed to replace by the existing type costing about $14,000 each. This leaves a balance of $18.000 on the vote.

Authority is requested therefore INCREASE IN CRIME to use part of the balance to add

Provision made in Estimates, $95,000.

Police Stores now su ply cloth- ing materials te a large number of other Government Departments. To meet the demand an additional stock has to be carried so that re- quirements, may be met early each year.

It is estimated that the ad-1 ditional stock required will cause an excess on the Police Vote by $10,000.

Cost of clothing is recovered from other Departmental Votes.

The rate for 293.10, and for 1926 it was 341.62.

There was a progressive increase in all kinds of offences against the person, and an alarming increase in For cases of malicious wounding. the latter offence the figure was 1,019, against the 552 of 1925, and the 882 of 1926. Sexual offences in general also show a decided in- crease from 2,205 in 1925 to 2,515 in 1927.

Unsolved Crimes

The number of murders in Eng- land and Wales, however, tends to diminish year by year in pro- portion to the population, the figure for 1927 being 140, of which 41 were infants under one year old. Of the other 99 murdered people,' 36 were males and 63 females. No fewer than 41 of their murderers: committed suicide.

The Blue Book points out that the number of "unsolved murder mysteries" tends to diminish almost to vanishing point, and adds that observers both at home and abroad, whatever their views on capital punishment, agreed that the strong- est deterrent was the certainty of being found out and dealt with. Sentence of death was carried out on 19 persons-al male-during the year under review.

The Home Secretary From the figures of prosecutions under the various Police Regula- tions, the Home Secretary, who presents the report, draws the deduction that "It did not appear that the police were failing to follow up serious crime and devot- ing themselves intead to proceed- ings for less serious offences the figures do not support the view, often expreased, that the time of the police is increasingly taken up with prosecutions of this kind."

For many years, the report points out, suicides have increased out of proportion to the increase in population. The figure for 1927 was 4,863. This increase was fairly steady ap to 1914; there was a sharp drop during the war, but since the last stages of the war there has been a swift rise from 13,000 to over 4,500 every year.
