VOTE OF MONEY REFERRED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.-Read the following Minute by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government:-
C.S.O. €78 of 1886.
W. H. MARSH.
The Officer Administering the Government recommends the Council to vote the sum of $1,386 for general repairs to Mountain Lodge at Victoria Peak.
This building, which for eight months in the year is submerged in fog, was, as far back as 1884, reported as shewing traces of decay from wet-rot, and again in 1885 the floors were reported as having still further decayed. Nothing has however been done in the shape of reconstruction during the last 2 years.
The Surveyor General reports that it is not prudent to defer any longer the work of restoration, the structure having now become positively unsafe.
Government House, Hongkong, 30th March, 1886.
The Acting Colonial Secretary moved that this Minute be referred to the Finance Committee. The Colonial Treasurer seconded.
Question-put and passed.
