Lord Tweedmouth anticipues a total expendi- tore on the Semish base of £3,000,000 for work, and £150,000 for machinery, to be spread over a period of ten years. The 5,000 taken with these estimates is, therefore, only about the tenth part of the teath part which should, fall to be paid in the current financial year;" but it is, perhaps, not possible to expend more on the preliminary works.
I now come to the provision for new con-
