The cost will be partly offset by the increase in revenue that will result from the improved service.

5. Miscellaneous Services:-28, New Territories Agricultural Show..$
Provision made in Estimates (page 88 item 28) ......$ 1,000
With a view to supporting the New Territories Agricultural Associa- tion the Government recommends that this grant be increased to $2,000 subject to an equivalent amount being raised by subscriptions, such sum to be available not merely for the Annual Show but also for the general purposes of the Association.
The association now reports that this condition has been fulfilled and a supplementary vote for $1,000 is therefore requested.

6.--Public Works Extraordinary, Head 37. Waterworks. Improve- ments to Fanling Waterworks
The total cost of the above works is estimated at $20,000 and a sum of $5,000 was voted as the first instalment in 1931. Owing to a mis- understanding this item was omitted from the draft Estimates of 1932. It is important that the work be continued and this special vote is there- fore applied for. The work is revenue earning and when the improve- ments are completed it is estimated that an increase of the revenue from the water supply will amount to about $400 per annum.
(C.S.O. 3250/20).

This is a revote of the unexpended balance of the 1931 vote, which lapsed because the work for which it is to pay was not entirely finished in the financial year, 1931.
