The annual report stated that finances were suffering because members were not responding auf ficiently in the matter of annual subscriptiona, and, appealed for more support. The Anancial re- sult of the year's working showed a deficit of $87.22, accounted for by the loss on the telephone box installed at May Road Station.

The chairman said:---Ladies and Gentlemen, the first business of the meeting is the adoption of the réport and accounts, which have been in your hands for the past week, and in proposing the resolu- tion you will no doubt be interest- ed to have some comments from the chair on the more important matters which have engaged the attention of your committee since

"Unfortunate" Telephone Box,

The total storage in the main- land reservoirs on the morning of: Monday, 19th. May, amounted to 346.16 million gallons showing a decrease of 18.82 million gallons during the past week.

The week's consumption, not in- cluding Hongkong supplies and 2.- 04 million gallons delivered to Water Boats at Lai Chi Kok, amounted to 30.24 million gallons.

The yield from the Shing Mun River and streams during the week was 34.61 million gallona.

Later on, as you may know, the intention is to carry the road on past Queen's Gardens and it is hoped Government will start work on this section at an early date to enable traffic to proceed at least as far as Aigburth Hall when see tion 1, is completed.

Road Surfacing.

I do not know what members generally think of the unusual surfacing of the Peak Road, under the Bridge, at Queen's Gardens, but your committee, following complaints, were certainly of the
