The Committee meet this day pursuant to arrangement.
The Minutes of the last Meeting, held on the 22nd July last, are read and confirmed.
(1.) Read the papers in connection with a suggestion by His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES respecting an annual grant towards a permanent Colonial and Indian Exhibition.
Extraordinary Public Works.
(2.) Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:
W. H. MARSH.
The objections raised in 1883 by the Military Authorities to the erection on Mount Gough of a permanent building as a Police Station have been withdrawn on the understanding
1. That the Police Station is to be built on a plan to be approved by the Commanding Royal Engineer so that it may be used, in case of need, as barracks for soldiers to defend the redoubt which will be constructed;
2. That if the Station is permanently taken over at any future time by the Military
the cost will be reimbursed to the Civil Government.
I have therefore to ask the Council to vote the money necessary to construct barracks for the Police at Mount Gough in the place of the temporary thatched-shed, as soon as the hot season is over. The estimate for this work is $17,000. For this sum quarters will be provided for 1 married Officer or Sergeant, 6 Europeans, 6 Sikhs, and 6 Chinese. As the force required to be on duty at this Station is: 4 Europeans, 4 Sikhs, and 4 Chinese, there will be room for 2 convalescents of each class, and the Station will serve at the same time the purposes of a Sanitarium for the Police.
Government House, Hongkong, 22nd September, 1886.
The Chairman states that this Minute will be laid before the Legislative Council in due course.

The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum of $435 for a compassionate allowance to Mrs. SAMPSON, widow of the late First Boarding Officer in the Harbour Department, being the equivalent of 3 months' salary and personal allowance of her late husband who was in the service of the Colony for nearly 18 years, and gave the highest satisfaction in the discharge of his duties.
