REG. 15 MAY 07 I submit the following remarks on Kr. Eves'

letter:-

Para. 5.

Mr. Eves should be asked to produce the

tenders which he has obtained from reS-

-ponsible Contractors, also the specifica-

-tions and Bills of Quantities on which they

are based.

Para. 6.

It is absurd to compare the building of a

house costing $30,000 with the construction

of a railway costing $5,000,000. There is

a vast amount of detail in a house and there

are many trades involved which are dependent

on each other and a very small thing will

often delay progress with the whole work.

Very extensive alterations were made during

the course of the work, which occupied some-

-what less than 2 years.

The cost of the work was as follows:-

Quarters, including Servants'

Quarters...

Stable Building, including ap-

-proach road to same and widening portion of causeway.
