grounds of length of meritorious service in inserting these small increases in the Estimates. There is one item, which I submit a saving might be effected, if thought desirable viz. the $1000 voted for the first time in 1883 for an Aide-de-Camp to the Governor. During the greater part of 1885 and since the beginning of the present year duties of Private Secretary and Aide-de-Camp have been performed by one Officer, and certainly they cannot be said to be onerous.

6. The Estimate of Extraordinary Public Works to be executed next year, amounts to $760,000. It is assumed that about £160,000 or £170,000 will have been expended by the end of 1887 on account of the £200,000 proposed to be borrowed. There will therefore be a balance of about £30,000 or £40,000 left available for 1888, and there will be required during that year to complete works already commenced.
