23. This estimate, as I have stated above, has, however, grown into an expenditure of 325,4271., of ▷ which 209,4271., or nearly two thirds, will have been borne by the Imperial Exchequer, and if Ha Majesty's Government now call upon the Colony to make a fair contribution towards the new barracks, and it cannot complain of unfair treatment, especi- ally as the additional barracks are in fact a necessary part of the defences.
24. It must be added that if, in the course of the fyears, necessity for new works should arise, their cost would form the subject of a separate agreement, and that it is not to be understood that the whole charge of them would be borne by the Imperial Exchequer.
25. In the confident hope that the present. arrangement, which they consider equitable and reasonable, will be readily accepted by the Colony, Her Majesty's Government request that you will lose no time in laying this despatch before the Legislative Council, and in pressing forward the necessary votes by all the means in your power.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
(Signed)-
Governor Sir George W. Des Voeux, K:C.M.G.,
