I have the honour to invite reference to
previous correspondence resting with my Confidential

method of assessment of the Military Contribution
paid by this Colony. I decided that it was desirable
to make a public intimation of the new scheme and I
enclose for your information a copy of a statement on
this subject which was made to the Legislative Council
at a meeting held on 22nd December, 1938.
I have the honour to be,

Your most obedient, humble servant
