No. 649.

Sir,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG.

24th December, 1934.

I have the honour to request your authority

in accordance with Colonial Regulation 281 for the

expenditure of the sum of $22,132 to supplement Head

34 Public Works Extraordinary, Hong Kong, Communications,

Sub-head 24, Widening of Magazine Gap Road between May

Road and Stubbs Road, under which sub-head $60,000 is

provided in the Estimates for 1934.

2.

Of this sum $7,350 is in respect of

increased cost owing to realignment and additional work

necessitated by the nature of the ground and on account

of saturation by heavy rains during the summer.

The remainder, $14,782, is a revote of

the balance of the sum approved in respect of 1933 but unexpended during that year.

3.

The expenditure of this sum has been

recommended by the Finance Committee of the Legislative

Council, whose report will be submitted for adoption at

the next meeting of Council.

4.

The total required can be met from savings

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,
