How is this?

the erection of

"new" Harbour master's

office", the old one being absolutely unsafe. As regards the Civil Hospital, I am inclined to let Sir A. Kennedy defer as far as possible its cost out of revenue,

possible as the loan will have to meet Waterworks

and Lighthouses, having however on him the responsibility of his own recommendations I send a rough draft for consideration, it is perhaps the shortest way of his forming an opinion on the three despatches.

R& 14/7/73.

I concur with you in this matter

doubt _ the early part but concur

and

in with reference to par 3 of the letter -

whether it is made

in accordance with firm

Ken nedy

a licence

of spending & at commencement with the instructions

in force in financial regulations dated 1st

27th

L

for Cox.

The excess of assets over liabilities on the 31st December 1872 was

$181,942. deduct $19,000 for copper coinage not available leaves a sum of $162,000. So I think that, if Sir F. Kennedy feels sure he can

safely do so, he may

be allowed to

pay even as much as $50,000 out of revenue towards the hospital. Lord Kimberly recommended that $50,000 should be the available balance in Treasury.

RB2 I agree.
