38. The Brick Hill Hospital should be enlarged, and measures to effect this are under consideration for early adoption.

39. There is one point that I take this special opportunity of bringing to your Excellency's notice - the numerical strength, organisation, and several duties of the Government Departments.

40. The Colonial Secretary's Office should be relieved of routine duties accidentally thrown upon it.

42. There seems to me some lack of method in the Harbour Master's Department in the Shipping Office in the Harbour.
