The Colonial Defence Committee consider that
the points raised in their printed remarks have been
4
fully net in the existing scheme for the preparation
of which the Local Committee deserve much credit.
As regards storage of coal, the Admiralty
has recently entered into a contract with Solomon
Moss & Co. In future, therefore, no Government store
will be kept and the coal will be stored in the position
recommended by the Local Committee.
The Colonial Defence Committee concur in the
Governor's proposal that the officers of the garrison
should be appointed Officers of the Local Militia and
recommend that the sanction of Secretary of State for
War to this step should be obtained.
