¿Continued From page 5)",
We have been in pesut yeara vory fortunate in being able to command suf- Belent Balances to provide for the heaviest programme which we could undertake but it is clear that this state of affairs cannot last much longer. The works to which we are already committed and those which we have in contempla. tion are all desirable, most of them are necessary and a consilerable number of them will be remuneraçive in actual cash, hat they will cost very large sums of mony and it would be unreasonable to expect to be able to find frouf revenue and bidance the nuds necessary for instance to provide for the heavy initial exprimiture of moving the military" estal
ishments to the mainland or to provide deep water wharves for the Harbour...

· Prayn East Reclamation and, to some extent at least, let us hope the repro- visioning of the Military Establishments.
The first class of works are correctly classes as Public Works Extraordinary since they are of the nature of enpital expenditure but they approximate rather closely to Public Works Recurrent for we may be certain that every year it will be necessary to expend money, un similar works.
"
This class of works therefore con- sider should be provided for from ac- venue, at least n to the limit of the revenue received from land sales, which an "alienation as these sales amount to of capital should not be regarded as avail- able to meet the ordinary exper.aes of administration.
The second class of works, of which the utility is permanent and the profit small should in my opinion be provided for by a long term up, e, by the issue of Inscribed Stock with the usual arrange ment for amortization by means of a sink. ing fund, so that our successors who will benefit by these works at least as mich us ourselves may bear their fair share of
the cost.
