sum $325,231.14 was spent during 1933. Hon. Members will recollect that re- solutions for $170,000 and $139,000, totalling $300,000, were taken October, 6. 1932, and December 14, 1933, respectively, for the estimated expenditure during 1933. As $925,- 231.14 was spent during the year, it is necessary to take a resolution for the balance, viz., 816,232,00,

on

I would add that the total approved estimate for the Ferry, at prosent de $1,864,000, but it is possiblo that further funds may be required be- fore, finality is reached, t

I therefore move "that this Council approves the further expenditure of $16,232 on the Vohicular Ferry dur- ing the financial year 1983; which sum shall met from Loan funda and shall meanwhile bo charged as an advance from the Surplus Briances of the Celony,"

The Colonial Secretary seconded and the motion was adopted.
