Item 4, Vehicular Ferry·

The revised estimate of the cost,

namely, $1,900,000 was approved in (2) on 33845/34.

Item 5, Gaol.

The estimated cost of the gaol was

originally $4,500,000 and this was increased in the

Estimates for 1934 to $4,631,000. We approved the

charging of the cost of the gaol to Loan Funds in

7(a) on 82818/31. I cannot, however, find that the

increase in the original estimate of the total cost

has been approved by the Secretary of State.

Item 6, Tytam Tuk Catchwaters.

In 13(a) on 13789/33, we were informed

that the original estimate had been increased from

$690,000 to $800,000. It appears now to have been

reduced to $700,000.
