MOTOR EMERGENCY UNIT.
Lcluded in Supplementary Votes totalling $62,487 appears the sum of $9,800 for the Motor Emer- gency Unit of the Police.
The official memorandum states: A sum of $9,500 is requested to purchase a six cylinder Thornycroft motor chassis, capable of.carrying 25 to 30 men for emergency work in Kowloon. The present prisoners' van in use in Kowloon, during the recent troubles, was found to be en- tirely unsulted for emergency unit. work, being very slow, too small and generally not the typo required - for such work. A high powered machine capable, if necessary, of hill climbing in the New Territories is urgently required; and delivery: of such a machine may be obtained at once from Messrs. Thornycroft and Co., Ltd.
