REPORT ON ORDINANCE No....24...

...................of 192 7.

1.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled an Ordinance

to make provision for a loan of five million dollars for the

carrying cut of certain public works, and I am of opinion

that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Gover-

nor's instructions.

2.

The object of this Ordinance is to give the Governor

power to raise a loan of $5,000,000 for the purposes speci-

fied in the Schedule to the Ordinance, namely :-

(1) Water works development

(2) Aerodrome and harbour development

(3) other public works.

*

$3,500,000

1,000,000

·

500,000

!

3.

The first item relates to the Shing Mun water scheme,

and the figure of $3,500,000 is believed to be a fairly close

estimate.
