I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 153 of 11th ultimo with reference to the expenditure of the funds subscribed for a memorial of Her Majesty's Jubilee in 1897.

The money was placed in the hands of Trustees, to be devoted

3. The Plans for the Hospital have been prepared, and the site acquired from the Government, and it is being proceeded with.

The construction of the Road has not been undertaken as yet for the following reasons.

4. Immediately after my arrival in the Colony I was addressed by the Director of Public Works by a letter dated 29th November 1898 in which he urged that some understanding should be arrived at with the Jubilee Committee on

The Right Honourable
