Enclosures

as in bureau

Bimming's letter dated 17th October 1883

Considerable inconvenience

His undoubtedly effected by Naval

Way masters owing to the limited number of dollar notes in circulation.

About 15 per cent of the Public money

is Naval money

for Naval expenditure in the Colony

it is required

in three Dollar notes. Dollar notes are

found to be obtained in sufficient quantity, and the "Chop" dollars

are cut and lose. The small change about to be received I believe

occasionally does not affect

the question of Dollar quotations as they cannot well be

substituted
