interviewed Mr. Ordish, the representative of the

Admiralty Local Officers, and I enclose a copy of his

report of the interview, from which you will observe

that Mr. Ordish is prepared to recommend a total sum of

$15,000 as a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost of

reinstating the Victoria Recreation Club. This I had the

honour to report to you in my telegram of the 1st. instant.

Your most obedient

Humble servant,
