I have the honour to report that the Directorate
of St. Joseph's English College, a school attended by some 500 pupils, have applied for a building grant in order to enable them to carry out a considerable extension to their class-room accommodo-
-tion, and to cover over a playground attached to the premises.
The Director of Education is of the opinion
that the proposed buildings, estimated to cost $28,000 in all, will be of great benefit to the College, and I have accordingly to recommend the grant towards their cost of a sum of $2,500, under the terms of articles 50 to 52 of the Grant Code, 1914, a copy of
which was forwarded with my Despatch No. 236 of the 9th. July, 1914.
GNT 299051144
I propose that this sum should be paid, as to half on the completion
of the buildings, and as to the balance in the ensuing financial
year.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Bomag
