Chairman: What you want, Mr. Braga, is to get the Government

Members of the Finance Committees met immediately after the first meeting, and some pointed criticisms were raised against thei inactivity of the Government in its work of pushing on the erection of the new Central British School in Kowloon, Hints were broadly thrown out as to how the Government could effect retrenchment in various directions.

Hon. Mr. Braga: If. It is inevit rble, Sr. I can do nothing else but approve of what has been alria ready approved by the Education Board. But I think it is waste of mney that we should vote $5.000 Lnow-and-elx-months later an- other sum, when we should be pushing ahead with the building of the Central British School.
