· Arms and Stores, which the Government had undertaken to supply by the same Regulation above quoted. The Committee are of opinion that this should have been borne by the Government if it was necessary, the building and its contents being the property of the Government.

The clothing hitherto issued has been in accordance with Schedule A of the Regulations. The Committee were given to understand that on the recommendation of a Board of Officers appointed by the Commandant, a material modification in the expense for clothing is being effected by the abolition in the Field Battery of the suit of serge, and the substitution of a cloth Field Service Cap instead of the two caps previously worn. On the basis of the expenditure on this score in 1897, an annual saving of $633.50 will be made by these changes. The Committee suggest that a still further saving of probably twenty per cent could be effected by purchasing from Pimlico, instead of through the Corps Agents, material for making up in the Colony.

The Committee do not advise the abolition of the Full dress uniform as they are of opinion that something more than Khaki should be supplied to Volunteers for ceremonials and the Winter season.
