HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

119

Item No. 60:-Bay View Police Hut to accommodate 10 bunks, $460.

HON. MR. SHENTON.-Is that the Police Station near the Hong Kong Electric Company's place?

THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.-Yes.

HON. MR. SHENTON.-And are the bunks for Chinese or Indian constables? Is it to be an outhouse of that station or what is the idea?

THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.-This is similar to the place at Kowloon City and the huts are for additional police, some Chinese and some Indian. It is one of the usual types of huts.

HON. MR. SHENTON.-I would suggest that the station is hopelessly out of date. When is it proposed to replace it with a new station?

THE CHAIRMAN.-That is impossible to say.

HON. MR. SHENTON.—It has long since past its day.

All items with the exception of Nos. 50 and 51 were approved.
