The Army Contractor, who supplies

The estimated net increase involved
by these proposals will in a few years mount to about $13,500, and, as the finances of the Colony are at pre- sent in a sufficiently stable position to meet this ad-

I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Henry Ablake
Governor, 80..
