Other works which should be commenced in 1886 if it be possible and convenient, are:-

New Central Market,

$150,000

5 New Schools,

25,000

Extension and repairs of Police Barracks,.

135,000

$310,000

Besides the above there will be Sanitary Works in accordance with the recommendations of Mr. CHADWICK to the extent of say $1,500,000, all of which cannot possibly be undertaken at the same time, and which may have to be spread over some 5 to 10 years. The construction of a new Gaol has also been approved by the Secretary of State although he has consented to defer its erection to some future period. This is estimated at $400,000.

It must not be forgotten that interest on the proposed loan say $75,000 will also have to be paid towards the end of 1886.
