Carried.
The Committee, having examined the plans for a College prepared by Hon. E. R. BELILIOS, C.M.G., in connection with his offer to the College of Medicine for Chinese, agreed that such a building would be admirably adapted to the requirements of the proposed College, and that no better site could be obtained than that which he has offered, on account of its proximity to the Government Civil Hospital.
The Committee estimated that an annual grant of $5,600 would be required to meet the expenses of the proposed College, as follows :-
$3,600, as salary of Superintendent, who would probably be provided with quarters in the College building ;
$1,000, to provide honoraria for other lecturers, allowing for ten lecturers at $100 a year.
$1,000, to provide servants, and laboratory and other incidental expenses.
The Secretary was requested to embody the foregoing resolutions, &c., in a report to His Excellency the Governor, and submit the same for signature to the members of Committee.
