of the Committee appointed last year to consider the working of the Survey Sub-department and of the Public Health and
Buildings Ordinance Office. Their report was forwarded to you as Bessional Paper No.13 of 1921 and I am satisfied that
these additional appointments are much required.

As regards the general financial position
I think I need add nothing to what I said in my address to
the Council. It is improbable that the total sum provided
for Public Works Extraordinary will be spent, while it is probable that the revenue will be higher than the Estimate so that the deficit appearing between the revenue and the expenditure will not amount to the estimated total of $4,016,565. In any event there are liquid balances amply sufficient to cover the deficit and I consider that it is both necessary end desirable to press on with the programme of public works many of which will prove remunerative in
the very near future.

As this despatch will not arrive in England
much before the middle of December I shall be gad to receive your approval of the Estimates by telegraph.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord Duke,
Your Grece's most obedient
humble servant,
Adur Sevem
Officer Administering the Government.
