VOTE OF MONEY REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.--Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:--
C.S.O. 9090 of 1887.
W. G. CAMERON.
The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum $1,500 for the purchase of a small corner of Inland Lot 24, in Queen's Road West, immediately below the hill whereon stands the Civil Hospital. The thoroughfare makes a sharp angle in skirting round the hill; and, as the traffic through Queen's Road West is incessant, it would be for the safety of riders in chairs and jinrickshas to shave off the small corner, and thus avoid the accidents which are always taking place at this spot.

The Acting Colonial Secretary moved that this vote be referred to the Finance Committee. The Treasurer seconded.
Question--put and passed.
