THE HONGKONG

COLONY'S MONEY VOTES FOR FINANCE

COMMITTEE

A total of $23,487 is requested in votes to go before the Finance Com- mittee of the Legislative Council to-morrow afternoon. A sum

of for hospital bedding and $3,000 clothing is mainly required owing to the fall in the exchange value of the local dollar.

The memoranda explaining the Items state:

Estimates, 1030

Hongkong Naval Volunteer Force: --Fuel, Light and Water $200.

Owing to increasea, in catablish- ment, the amount provided 'under this sub-head is insufficient to cover expenditure to the end of the year.

Charliable Services:-Other Charlt able Allowances (Unallocated) $450. Owing partly to an increase in the number of lepers maintained at the Tung Woh Kennedy Town Hospital, and paril? to other additional calls on this vote, the expenditure on this sub-head will, it is estimated, exceed funds provided by $400.

Supreme Court:-Special Expendi- ture, Halabury's "Laws of England" replacement of 4 sets, fourth instal- ment $220.

Provision In 1936 Estimates for these law booka was made at the rate of $118. Od.

Medical Department:---Bedding and Clothing $0,000.

When the Estimates for 1936 were prepared the cost of materials to be ordered through the Crown Agents Was calculated on the basis of an exchange rate of is. 8d.$1. When the exchange fell it was considered inadvisable to reduce the quantity ordered and so risk a thorloge uf supplies. Figures now shine thất the number of patients treated during the current year has been well above the average, and all materials order ed have been fully required.

Hongkong Naval Volunteer Force: -Uniform $1,013.

The minber of Cadets and Rothies recruited during the current your bus been greater than was entkipnt- ccl.
