The last item to be discussed was

the question of cost. The chair. man said he should mention in re- gard to a vote in the Legislative Council, that the Government was quite prepared, if the course was decided upon, for a vote to be taken in the Council. That, of course, did not in any way bind the meeting.

Mr. M. K. Lo said that he con- sidered a welcome to a new Gover- to be a public duty and he nor thought the money should come out of public funds. He proposed that vote in the Legislative Council should be moved.

In seconding the proposition, the chairman said he quite agreed with Mr. Lo.

The resolution was carried. This concluded the business of the meeting.

The explosions are attributed to the ignition of accumulations of gasoline vapour.-Reuter's Ameri- can Service.
