This larger Estimate is not, however, submitted

as there is little probability of much being done in its direction for many years to come. It appears quite

sufficient at the present time to put forward the small-

er Estimate, the main object of which is to provide the

immediate accommodation required for the increased

Garrison, and which shows, as nearly as the Secretary

of State for War is able to do in anticipation of finish-

ed Plans and Contracts, what is likely to be the burden

on the Colony and Imperial Government respectively for

providing Barrack Accommodation during the next 8 years.

The obligation to provide the necessary sites

would in addition be incumbent on the Colony.

It should be added that, should any sum be

received from the Colony on account of the surrender to
