The

revised Agures are given in AD- Dendix VI. (b) to the Draft timates for 1938 already laid before Council. The principal reason for the excess is that receipts from the sale of plant, which are credit- ed to the loan funds, were original ly estimated at a figure which is now unlikely to be reached

RECOMMENDED FOR BANISHMENT

A bag-snatcher appeared before

On the other hand there are re- ductions in the estimates for cer- tain other parts of the Shing Mun Valley Water Works and for the Stanley Gaol. These total $139,000 and go some way to meet the ex- cess on the Gorge Dam. The balance of that excess, $136,000, can be found by transfer from the for the Central funds intended Market, which will thus be reduced to $889,000. This exhausts the funds avallable under the 1934 Loan.
