The site for the Sokumpoo School is excessively steep and rocky, and the walls are necessary on the North and West, and a small one on the Hospital Road as shown on the Plan. The site of the other school is level.

It is proposed to build these schools by Contract in the usual manner, the detail work being carried out according to specifications on split granite drawn out for the guide.

646 cft @ 15 cents = $96.90
China fir 1 1/2 floor joists = $133.20
Other costs = $160.64, $975.86, $1375.84
