HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
217
THE CHAIRMAN.-Yes, but the replies have not yet been received.
No. 127.
HON. SIR HENRY POLLOCK.-Why is it necessary to pay this additional $2,000 as a supplementary vote to meet anticipated expenditure?
THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.-The sum of $28,000 was originally asked for but it was cut down to $26,000. The control of this vote is not now in the hands of any one particular department, and it is estimated that we shall want another $2,000 to complete the charges for the year.
HON. MR. KOTEWALL.-In other words, the vote was under- estimated?
THE CHAIRMAN.--Yes.
HON. SIR HENRY POLLOCK.-The vote was cut down and now
you find you want another $2,000?
THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.-Yes.
All the votes were approved.
