Sir,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG,

6th November, 1935.

32

I have the honour, in accordance with

Colonial Regulation No.265, to request your sanction

for the supplementary expenditure of $13,600 for Typhoon

and Rainstorm Damages, Head 33, Sub-head 5 of the

Estimates for 1935.

2. Rainstorms during June, July and September

caused considerable damage to the roads, waterworks and

drainage systems of the Colony. The rainy season is now

over, so that no further expenditure should be incurred

in this connection, and in anticipation of your approval I have signed a Special Warrant for $13,600 to meet the

cost of the repairs already undertaken.

3. I should be glad to receive by telegraph

your sanction for this expenditure, subject to the approval

of the Legislative Council which will then be sought.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

Wo.d. Soc Shorty.

Officer Administering the Government.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

MALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,
