WILLIAM ROBINSON.

The Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of Fourteen thousand Dollars, ($14,000), for “Repairs to Buildings."

This additional vote has become necessary owing in a great measure to the liabilities on account of work done during the last two years, but paid out of this year's vote.

The Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of Five thousand Dollars, ($5,000), to cover the cost of Stationery for 1892, the requisitions for which arrived too late to be included in the 1891 Account.

Government House, Hongkong, 24th August, 1892.

WILLIAM ROBINSON.

The Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of One hundred thousand Dollars, ($100,000), in order to provide for the payment before the end of the year, as prescribed in rules 63 and 77 of the Financial Instructions, of the salaries for the month of December and other authorised charges properly chargeable against the votes of the year.

The salaries for December, 1891, and certain other charges were paid in January of this year, in accordance with the practice which has hitherto prevailed in this Colony.

In order to carry out the object referred to above, it will therefore be necessary to exceed the Estimates for the current year by the amount (approximately stated above) of the salaries and charges of one month.
