with regard to Para 3 of the Governor's Despatch that Mr Chamberlain entirely agrees as to the desirability of carrying out all possible sanitary improvements to therefore approves of the intention that the Six Latrines being put in hand at once refer to the his views as to say that more may be built if thought desirable.

Para 3: C.W. Dept: Observe that the proposals in regard to this Dept contained in 186/the involved a reorganisation rather than an augmentation of the Dept, & say that if on further consideration, the Govr sees fit to recommend it, Mr Chamberlain will not refuse observing a moderate increase of Staff: that were any additional Officers appointed they could of course be temporarily engaged & could therefore be dispensed with after three years were their services no longer required.

Para: 4 observe that Revenue from Sale of Crown Lands is not shown on the Estimator as part of the Colonial Revenue as fast or clearly. We have Misdespatch CPE 380 & is not included in that Revenue for purposes of Military Contribution: that such Revenue is correct in regarding the the capital of the Colony, & that, as part of the led out in previous despatch has been frequently stated the Revenue from Sales of Crown Lands should be devoted to legitimate Expenditure of a permanent utility cars the expenditure necessary and that re-establish of late special Reserve under the last mentioned head has been existance. It is therefore be unadvisable to the Revenue from the sale of Crown Land.

In regard to para: 5 of Despatch & the remark, in para: 4 of the Unofficial members memo we would observe that the Resolution of the Legislative Council reported in 8570 to erect the new Post Office on the site of the present Post Office & Supreme Court, makes it apart from financial considerations, impossible to begin the new Post Office until the new Law Courts are completed.
