Authorities. But in their petition the

School authorities give no figures to indicate

to the occupation of the School by the

Military Authorities will be found in the

"History and Records", in marked paragraphs on

pages 7-71, 77-78, and 116 -120 from which

it appears that the Military Authorities paid

$5658 per month rental for the new building

during occupation. After evacuation, the

School agreed to pay $25,000 for the top

storey which was added by the Military Authorities

but agreement was reached to defer payment for

five years and it is then to be made in ten

instalments.

The School also agreed to pay

$4000 for material left by the Military

Authorities.

Against all this has been set

agreed to pay as compensation.

Records" it appears that the average attendance

of pupils at material times before, during
