New Western Market, or which can be afforded by the addition of a market on the site of the old Harbour Office which

is a very small one.

The Sanitary Board has therefore recommend-

-ed that the proposal to utilise the site of the old

Harbour Office as a market be abandoned and that a new

market be constructed on the site of the old Western

Market. I enclose an extract from a report by the Head of

Sanitary Department on the subject which goes to show that

the building will be a very remunerative one. Plans and

estimate of it will be forwarded in due course. The cost

will probably not exceed $268,000 exclusive of a proposed

resumption upon which I shall address Your Lordship in a

subsequent Despatch. The site of the old Harbour Office

will not be required for market purposes.

(d). Yaumati English School, additional

storey, $16,000. To meet an increased demand for

admission, it has been decided to add another storey to

the existing building which was originally designed to

bear this additional weight. The proposed storey will

accommodate 200 more pupils, from whom fees amounting to

$6,000 a year are expected. The cost of extra staff (which

will fall upon the Estimates for 1912) is roughly estimated

at $3,000 a year, and plans of this work are enclosed.

(e). Yaumati Disinfecting Station, stables,

$10,000. These stables are for the accomodation of

bullocks
