As matters stand there is little to be gained by storing up vast quantities of vaccine, which will only last two years, so long as supplies can be obtained without dificulty from elsewhere..

STREET LIGHTING

The question of street lighting to meet local conditions has been under discussion for some time be- tween the Public Works Depart- ment and the local supply Com- panies. Certain information has not just been received from Eng- land and the conclusions are now being considered. Extra money is being spent next year on the main- tenance of Kowloon roads.

REVENUE. OFFICERS' CASE Executive Action Is Being Taken Against Those Concerned

I find it a little difficult to com- ment on the case of certain re- venue officers partly because it is still in a sense sub judice, partly because I prefer to believe that I have misuriderstood the meaning of the words used by the speaker in this instance.

Following the recent Court pro ceedings (which, I believe, es- tablished that the transaction was not one of bribery) executive ac- tlon is being taken against all the officers concerned.

Bentor Clerical Officers in the Sanitary Department is due to cer- tain complications of the present system whereby the salaries of transferable officers must be pro- vided in the Estimates of the De- partment to which they belong when those Estimates are prepared.

This means that most Depart-

ments have to provide for a cer tain number of "hangers on"- officers on leave and so on. The Government is considering the ad- visability of providing in 1939 for such unattached officers under a separate sub-head-perhaps of the Colonial Secretary's Office-in order to avoid obscurities of this sort.

CITY DEVELOPMENT The future of St. John's Place and Battery Path depends upon the decision to be reached regarding the City Tevelopment Scheme which has been held in abeyance pending the arrival of Sir Geoffry Northcote. The views of Sir Ax- drew Caldecott are on record and have been communicated to mem- bers of the Executive Council
