A reference to the accompanying plan will enable His Excellency to comprehend the construction of the building, and the purposes to which I contemplate appropriating the several rooms.

It was proposed that on his removal into hospital every policeman should provide his own bed and furniture.

This provision will place the hospital on an efficient temporary footing. The establishment required, and the monthly expenditure, exclusive of rations, will be as follow: --

Rent $18.00 One book $0.25 @ Two Coolies $12.00 Up Firewood $3.00 Oil Washing $3.00 Total $55.00

I deem it expedient at once to sanction the establishment of a dispensary in connexion with the hospital, it will incur the following incidental expense.

Incidental expenses per month, as above $55.00 Medicines, per month $35.00 Dispenser's wages $30.00 Dispensary coolie $5.00 $125.00 per month
