of State that the Nursing Institute Wing be built by

Government, the cost being defrayed out of the revenues of

the Colony and the Jubilee Committee handing over to

Government any avilable balance after completing the Hos-

pital.

I would point out that there are good

grounds for the recommendation as the Barker Road scheme

includes a house for a Resident Surgeon on completion of

which the Government will be relieved of the payment of

$720 per annum for "house allowance" to the officer who

will occupy it.

If this sum be capitalized at 5% it amounts

to $14,400 which should be ample for the construction of

the Wing in High Street.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant,

(Sd.)C.P.Chater,

Chairman Jubilee Committee,
