in more than one instance the capitalized value of the Crown Rents on the land has been credited to the Colonial Government in the special lands account instituted in accordance with the Colonial Office circular of the 30th December 1894.

amounts in the gross cost for purposes of division.

But

in more than one instance the capitalized value of the

Grown Rents on the land has been credited to the Colonial

Government in the special lands account instituted in

accordance with the Colonial Office circular of the 30th

December 1894. This has been done in spite of the fact

that practically no land of any value has been surrendered

by the War Department, and there are consequently no

debits against the Colony to be extinguished. The

oredits could only therefore become operative by being

set off against the value of surrenders if øver made in

the future by the War Department. It is probable that

more sites will be required for buildings included in the

joint scheme, and the question of the proper mode of

treating these Crown rents requires settlement.

6. In addition however to the services included in

this scheme there are other new barrack works which will

have to be carried out shortly in the Colony, and for

which sites may be required. Sinoe the scheme was draw

up in 1894 there has been a further small increase in the

strength of the garrison; and the need for small buildings

of various kinds connected with the garrison may be ex-

pected to arise from time to time. The question of the

cost of sites in these cases is one which should be

settled, but at present it must be observed that the

incidence of the cost of the buildings themselves is

wholly unsettled. Their cost is not apposed to be

covered by the general contribution of the Colony and no
