The Estimate
is satisfactory
of
Revenue
and indicates
that the colony
is in a prosperous state.

is the large growth of
Establishments due to
the new Offices, appointments
and departments which
recently
have been sanctioned:
You will, I feel,
be careful
to avoid any unnecessary
increase in this branch
and safeguard against
further increase
in the interest of
Expenditure. Seeing
the difficulty in reducing
Establishments once they are
found to be necessary, it is
always difficult to
reduce them when occasion
for general retrenchment arises.
