In that Despatch Dr. Bridges mentioned that he was directed by His Excellency The Governor to state in reply that it was not within his power to order a grant of $4500 to the use of the Cathedral repair fund without a reference home, but that His Excellency would cause such reference to be made and give it his cordial support:
May I beg the favour of you to inform the Trustees whether such reference has been made and whether any answer has been received.
It became absolutely necessary for the Trustees to have the repairs made in order to ensure the safety of the Building, the expense of which has been upwards of $1600, and as a New Organ has been ordered from England at an expense of £675 including Freight and Organists' passage Money, necessary alterations will be required in the Organ Gallery, the expense of which it is considered to be fairly within the province of the Trustees, and it is greatly feared that, although the rate of the Pew Rents has been raised, the funds available will not be during the current year sufficient to defray the total costs of these works.
I should mention that the cost of the Organ loft has been borne by private Subscribers.
