BY AIR MAIL.

Sir,

388

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG.

21st June, 1935.

I have the honour to request your sanction in accordance with Colonial Regulation 265 for supplementary

expenditure of $50,217 in respect of two additional second-

class coaches for the Kowloon-Canton Railway.

2. The sum of $99,200 was provided for this purpose, under Head 26, sub-head 41 of the Estimates for 1934, but

only local expenditure amounting to $13,089.69 in respect

of part payment for timber and bodywork building was incurred

during the year. Payment for the carriage underframes and

fittings which were ordered from England at a contract price of £3,646 was not made by the Crown Agents in 1934.

3. A revote of $50,217 is required to cover the balance of the expenditure and I should be glad to have your

sanction, by telegraph, to take a supplementary vote for this

sum.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

Mo.D. Southothe

Officer Administering the Government.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

MALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,
