THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS,” FRA DAY, OCTOBER 10TH, 1913,

Under Water Works, the estimate for an additional Service Roervoir and Filter Bede at West Point has been increased from $240,000 to $314,000. This in due to the selection of a different site from that originally proposed for these works. It was proposed in the first instance utilize an area of hand to the eastward of the residence of the Principal of the University, but, in view it probable future developments of that institution, this site was abandoned. The new site is further. to the west, above Pokfulam Boad, entailing a considerable increas in the length of the mains which must be laid to connect with the works. It is in close proximity to the site of the net Pumping! Station, where the principal part of the pumping to the Peak and High Level Diguleti in carried out.

The estimate for the Second Section of the Tylam Tuk Scheme has been increased from

to 52.017,000 $2,100,000. In esplanation of this increase muy mon tion that the contract for the construction of the dam and contingent works execeds the estimate by $138,681, including a sua of $100.00 which has been provided for. contingencies. It has also bron consid; ered advisable to increase the power of the pumping engine from 2 million to 3 million gallons per day and to lay two additional rising mains instead of one as originally contemplated. A number of items, rot originally included in estinate, have been charged to the vote, the principal one being resumption of the old Village and cultivated lands which were situated within the reservoir

Turning now to Kowloon, provision is made for the erection of quarters for those subordinate officers whose duties lie on that side of the Harbour. A block: of 8 houses is in course of erection.

It will bs within the recollection of honourable members that the surrendor of the pre- sent Police Camber and Yard at Kowloon Point to the Hongkong and Kowloon | Wharf and Godown Co, formed part of the arrangements under which the site of the terminal station of the Kowloon-Canton Railway was acquired. Provision for new yard, workshops and slipway is being made on the reclamation in front of Kowloon Marine Lots 29-31 (itera 41), and the vote in next year's estimates is to provide for the construction of the slipway, workshops, stores and quarters. NEW TERRITORIES

Provision is made for the comments- mont of a new Police Station at Lok Ma Chan, to the north-east of San Tin, where the Police have hitherto been accom modated in a native house: Matsheds have heat treated as a temperary menspro under Financial Minute No. 25, passed in May last, but it is necessary that the Police force should be accommodated here as elsewhere in buildings of a permanent nature.

cars.

The only new item of road-making for which specific provision is made is that from Tai Po to Fan Ling-item (c). This will link up communication by road from Kowloon Point with the main road constructed during recent years between An Ha Gap, near Shataukok, and Castle Peak Bay. The construction of a short length of rond from An Ha Gap to Shatakok and of a bridge over the Au Tan Creek and the wideung of certain sections of the road already made between Au la Gay and Castle Peak Bay will or other wheeled enable notor vehicle to praverse the New Territories from Kowloon Point, Tai Po and Fan Ling, to Shatankok or Castle Peak Bay.

Urider Miscellaneous," provision is protective fences made for erecting around the Police Stations, for carrying nut a small recinmation at Tai O to forth 4 side for the proposed market and for the construetion of a. boathouse and slipway for the protection of the beats with Police and Connection used in Harbour work.

of Public Works The programme Extraordinary reaches the unprecedented total of $2,130,900, The nearest approxi- in 1905, mation to this amount was when a sum of $1,915,300 was provided in the Estimates for Public Works Extra- ordinary. Then, as now, there were several large works in progress which absorbed substantial sums. I may point ant that the aums provided for the Tytam Tak Scheme and the Typhoon Refuge alons are $1,010,000, or practically half the total amount, whilst the Wireless Station absorbs another $100,000,

Working expenses are estimated at $271,903, an increase of $14,810 over the amount approved for 1913, which is entirely due to expenses incidental to an increased train service.

The nett estimated reult of next year's working is given in foot-note 3 on page 310. from which it will be seen that cxpenditure on all accounts is estimated at 811,864 and receipts at 8172,000, leaving a deficit to be met from General Revenue of $469,264.

THE BALANCING OF THE BUDGET.

In framing the budget for the coming year, I have estimated for an appropria- tion from the accumulation of surplus In this balances of a sum of $828,562. connection I may again remind you that it was arranged to face the Typhoon Refuge half out of reserved and half by means of a special assessment of Light Dues.
