The money subscribed for the memorial to His late

Majesty King George V is to be placed in a special fund

and expended on the provisions of public parks and children's playgrounds.

The special fund will be quite separate from revenue.

The Bill follows closely the provisions of the Government

House and City Development Scheme, Ordinance No. 30 of

1934, and gives legal sanction to the appropriation of

the expenditure on the scheme from the fund by

Resolutions of the Legislative Council, a method which

is a departure from the ordinary rules of Colonial

Accounting.
