+ to this question. The spirit of the Colonial Regulations from page 82 to 89 seems to me to be that Estimates need only be sent home for Works which are new and of considerable magnitude. I do not know whether the limit may be settled already by general precedent.
But otherwise, I should think that the Governor should be told that it is not necessary to send home beforehand detailed Estimates of small extent which are included in the bead that Mr. Ellicot. There can, I apprehend, be no doubt as to the desire of Gov. Bonham to practise economy and avoid the execution of unnecessary public works at Hong Kong; & if he gives his sanction for the construction of roads, or buildings of which the expense does not exceed £200 I should imagine that the work was indispensable.
But still as he asks for instructions as to the nature & amount & services in the Surveyor General's Dept discretion will not be called in question & that he should obtain the sanction of the Secretary previous to execution it may perhaps be advisable to take advantage of opportunity & lay down some rule to be followed, if in deed the rule in the Book of Colonial Regulations, P.82 can be amended with advantage & rendered more explicit.
The case of the road from Sookhumpoo to North Point has been communicated to their Treasury; the details are therefore known to that office notwithstanding that no positive approval of that work taking place has been received from the Queen.
