that at the moment the Colonial Government might should even to make the necessary

well draw upon its surplus funds. He observes

that it is proposed to carry on financing loan

works from revenue pending a further issue of

tne 1934 loan. He sees no objection to this

course, but he observes that present advances

from surplus funds amount to approximately

$10,000,000. He notes further that the present

surplus of assets consists of approximately

$12,000,000, and that the assets as set out in

the Estimates include the item of advances

pending reimbursements from future loan. It

availabl would appear that the margin of, surplus funds

is therefore very narrow, and that this method

of financing could not be continued if the

surplus of assets were to fall, as is estimated,

to approximately $9,000,000 by the end of 1938.

He would accordingly suggest that consideration

should be given to the possibility of making a further issue of the loan, at an early date.
