The Estimated Ordinary Revenue is

$4,583,295 while Ordinary Capenditure amounts to 34,714,501 leaving a deficit of $131,303 which has to be made good by fresh taxation.

In addition to this Land Sales are put

down at $350,000, while Extraordinary Public Works come to $931,100 leaving a leficit of $581,100.

The total deficiency to be made good

therefore amounts to $719,803.

It would appear to be inexpedient to raise this large sun solely out of additional taxation and therefore it is proposed to raise a loan on account of certain productive Public Works the total amount of the cost of which has been estimated by the Director of Public Works to be

$2,250,000* the expenditure being spread over five or six years.
