Thought, however, to mention in justice to Mr. J. C. Powvender, whose care the accounts and other Records of the Department are, that he has supplied, with every Document carefully drawn up and has rendered all the assistance in his power.

On Buildings and Contingent repairs: £3292. 12. 8
On Roads, Contingent construction and repairs: £2292. 12. 3

For Garden Tools for Government House: £7. 19. 9

Buildings. The Expenditure on Buildings consists of Repairs of Supreme Court House as per Report and Estimate 18 of 1853. Considerable damage had been done to the skylight during a gale and the timbers of the roof had suffered from dry rot and the attacks of white ants which rendered necessary an outlay of £58. 17. 3.

Repairs of Post Office as per Report and Estimate 19 of 1855. The wood work of the flat roof of the kitchens on either side had become decayed and was sloped and posts substituted and damages which occurred during a gale which took place while the works were in progress were made good at an outlay of £69. 7. 0.
