$315 was voted.

Books and Buildings $800
This $285 was voted by the Legislative Council consequent upon an application from the Surveyor General for permission to erect two Latrines at Aberdeen on Crown Lands, there having hitherto been much felt the absence.

Fire Brigade Department

The villagers of Aberdeen in the middle of last year expressed a desire to form a Volunteer Fire Brigade, and having subscribed over a hundred dollars towards the expenses attending its formation, applied for assistance from the Government.
