The Colony's Budget for 1932 was fully debated at the meeting of the Legislative Council held on October 22, when Unofficial Members exhaustively analysed the Estimates. Argument was principally concentrated on the question of sterling salaries of the Civil Service. The Hon. Mr. C. Gordon Mackle moved an amendment to reduce the salaries appropriation by effecting a ten per cent. reduction in salaries, to balance the abandonment of the exchange com- pensation: When the resolution was put to the vote in Com- ' mittee it was lost, by 9 votes to 7.

His Excellency the Governor, in his speech, pleaded that Civil Servants had made sufficient sacrifices, which, ho was afraid, were not appreciated. His Excellency and the Colonial Secretary, were generally sympathetic or other points raised, but the plea was put forward that present financial conditions prevented much development work. It was mentioned, however, that the new Government Civil Hospital will be built on a site in Pokfulam Road, and the new Infectious Diseases Hospita! on Green Island.
