"Could be and make the following estimates. In the first piece, with reference to the Deciding Church; before testing the Colony in June 1841, I prepared plans for a Church; one upon the plainest and most economical scale possible, and subsequently, when it was believed a large sum would be subscribed in England for the purpose, threatened to be undertaken on a scale much more extensive but have found the climate unfavourable. Falco's truck, and left in my office, approximate expense of East, plan which are sufficiently new to show whether the sums subscribed, and likely to be sent, were large enough to justify the building being commenced.
If precise and minute estimates were required either by H.E. the Governor, or the Engineer in charge of works, I could have made them perfectly computable - Indeed, even when examining the spot, it would be difficult to make such detailed estimates and submit them for my examination and approval.
Secondly, with regard to the Governor's residence; thanks to our conversations with His Excellency on the subject, and submitted two rough plans of a house; here, it was affirmed, would have been too expensive; but further explanations were given in one of them by which it was reduced to within, or about, the sum twice. His Excellency told me it was on the limited budget of £10,000.
This plan was discussed with His Excellency and has been approved of on the very day I first went to Hong Kong. It only required a fair copy to be made and sent home. With respect to a Court house and offices, he was hurried and had scarcely craved before leaving the Colony, but done with confidence in the knowledge of Mr. Eldred's competence.
From the time he has been attached to my office, I think highly of his perfect competence to make plans and estimates of any works, whether in the department of Architect or Civil Engineer.
