if approved by you is conditional on the building being

completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Public

Works and will probably be required in the course of next

year.

The Inspector of Schools states

that the Ellis Kadoorie School, at which the average daily

attendance in 1904 was 186.88 and has considerably in-

-creased during the present year, well deserves support and

that the present buildings are not well suited to its re-

-quirements. The Director of Public Works reports that the

proposed extension is well considered and will form a use-

-ful addition to the school premises. The grant of half the

cost of the extension, but not exceeding $7,000, will be

subject to the same condition as in the other case and will

probably not be required till 1907 in the Estimates for

which year it is proposed to make provision for it if ap-

-proved.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

M. Nathan

Governor, &00..
