The Committee, after considering Abr. Ormesby's Report, informed the Government that they considered them Resolution to 3, which I have already quoted in full, and did not therefore consider that they had power to expend the money on any other section of the road than that between Kennedy Town and Aberdeen.

19. At this period Major General Black was administering the Government and it was not until after the arrival of His Excellency Sir Henry Blake, G.C.M.G., that any further roads were submitted to the Committee. Then, for the first time, in December, 1898, an extract from a letter of General Black's to His Excellency the Governor, in which military objections were urged to the construction of the Road, was communicated to the Committee. General Black's letter, a copy of which is enclosed, is dated 2nd December, 1898.

20. To this the Committee replied in similar terms to those above-mentioned and pointed out that early in 1897, the Government had undertaken, with your approbation, and without objection on the part of the Military Authorities, to commence the Road forthwith and to gradually carry it on until completed.

The Committee were subsequently informed that the question of the construction of the proposed first section of the Road from Kennedy Town, round Mount Davis
