I have not received any answer to the remarks which I made on this head when writing with reference to the estimates for 1872;

M. Meads.
I am not quite sure as to this: all the local gentries work, & therefore I should wish to receive detailed Estimates of the proposed building, though its cost is to be provided for, as it would appear from the 17th paragraph of your despatch that larger sums than $15,000 will fall, by the rules of this work in course of payment this account.
I suspect there is a considerable population living on board boats in the harbour: the H.M. Immigration officer has a considerable staff of clerks. I fancy the Sept. does certain Port management, which not in a freeport would be performed by customs officers. The total cost of his Dept. is £7000 a year - still it is prima facie a considerable objection.
I will make no remark on the vote of $15,000 which you have taken for the water supply, but you will of course incur no expenditure on this head, until the subject has been fully considered & complete Estimates have been received.
I would wish to stand over this item until there is a satisfactory Explanation given, but if so, it should be given before my approval.
With respect to the vote of $57,000, which has been provided as an instalment of the cost of the new Civil Hospital, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that in order to carry consistently with the rule which I have laid down in the 4th paragraph of this despatch, I cannot consent to allow this vote to remain this year.
I am well aware that it is of definite and urgent importance that the new Hospital should be commenced as soon as the plans are prepared and completed as early as possible. As the cost of this work would be a heavy charge, to be provided for in one or two years alone, I am inclined to think that it will be necessary to authorize expenditure over several years.
