Paragraph 10 (c). Mr. Whitehead states that no plans of the Governor's Peak Residence have been laid before the Public Works Committee, and that no money has been voted for it. He seems to have forgotten that he was present at a Meeting of the Public Works Committee held on August 31st last, the report of which I attach, when plans were considered by the Committee, and that a sum of $40,000 is provided in this year's Estimates for the Governor's Peak Residence.
There is a considerable amount of levelling to be done, and it is important that this shall be completed some time before the building is erected, to obviate the danger of malarial fever from recently disturbed ground.

Paragraph 11. Everybody is agreed as to the pressing necessity for more space in the Post Office. I have already directed that offices shall be taken for the Acting Attorney-General and the Registrar of the Supreme Court
