The COLONIAL TREASURER Seconded.. H19. EXCELLENCY –– With regard to Financial Minute No. 9 members will see that the amount of the damage caused by two typhoons of the 17th August and the 18th September has been very cort- aiderable. The largest item is the damage to important roads in Vistoria. That was caused chiefly by the typhoon-synchronising with a very high tide and the whole of the front of the Praya was swept by heavy seas for some hours. If it had not been For that damage it would not have been anything like so large. The damage by the typhoon of the 18th September, of course was aothing like so great, but there was an unfortunate accident to a steam barge and a lighter belonging to the Sanitary Department. Another big item in the former typhoon was the wash-out of certain parts of the railway embank- already explained to the. Council ment between Shatin and Taipe. I am these vates are on nscount of wphoon afraid the expenditure is inevitable.
