HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.-I move that this Council approves of the expenditure of $500,000 on the New Gaol at Wong Ma Kok during the financial year 1933, which sum shall be met from a future loan and shall meanwhile be charged as an advance from the surplus balances of the Colony.
THE COLONIAL TREASURER seconded.
THE HON. SIR HENRY POLLOCK.-This is a vote 1 presume on the structure of the gaol and nothing to do with the approach. Can the Director of Public Works answer that?
THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.-The money is to be used partly for the approach road, partly for site formation and partly for indents for materials.
The resolution was agreed to.
H.E. THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT.-- The Council stands adjourned until October 20th.
