D.-PUBLIC DEBT.

The nature of the loans contracted by the Colony and the conditions governing their re- ment may be ascertained by reference to I (D) of the Blue Book Report for 1898, page 3.

* Includes Expenditure of $820,000 on account of Resumption of Insanitary Property.

There was in 1899 an additional expenditure of $121,240.10 on Public Works Extraordis which was chargeable against the new Loan. The amount so expended was less than the estimate $62,459.90, but was more by a small amount than the balance of the Loan which is, therefore. i wholly expended.
