Sir,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

[36]

HONG KONG.

82

5th June, 1935.

M

I have the honour in accordance with

Colonial Regulation No.265 to request your sanction for the supplementary expenditure of $117,000 for the New 100 foot Road between Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay (now named King's Road), Head 34 Sub-head 16 of

the Estimates for 1935.

2.

Owing to unavoidable delays in 1934, there remains an unexpended balance of $147,816 in

respect of that year. Since the commencement of this year, however, work has progressed so rapidly that unless additional funds are provided, work will

come to a standstill before the end of the year. It is not anticipated that the total estimated cost of $910,000 will be exceeded.

3.

I should be glad to receive by telegraph your approval of this revote, subject to the sanction of the Legislative Council whose approval will then be

sought.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

lo.d. Southoch.

Officer Administering the Government.

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