H.E. THE GOVERNOR.

H.E. The Governor: I am deeply grateful to the junior Chinese mem- ber for the reference to myself and I thank all members, Official and Unofficial, for the very friendly reception accorded to this Budget and for the careful consideration given to it. The Colonial Secretary has replied so fully on points of detail that there is nothing left for me to add. I now put it to the meeting that the Bill be read a second time.

The motion was carried and the Bill was read a second time.

Council went into Committee ta consider the Bill clause by clause.

Upon Council resuming,

The Colonial Secretary proposed that the Bill be read a third time.

The Colonial Treasurer seconded and the Bill was read a third time and passed.

H.E. The Governor: I thank hon. members very sincerely for the provision made for the Public Services next year.
