FURTHER ACTION.
contribution for the defence of
the Colony:
Section 5. The said percentage
shall be deemed to be a fixed
contribution payable by the Colony
in full return for the annual cost
of the Imperial Garrison, including
all capital expenditure required for
military lands and buildings and the
cost of maintenance of all military
works and buildings, and the cost
of lodgings in lieu of barracks, and
all other military charges whatsoever:
provided that in no year shall the
sum paid by way of percentage exceed
the cost of the garrison for that
year.
5. We are not here in a position
to suggest to you whether the terms
mentioned in your letter are reasonable
having in view the value of the land
which is required, but we do not doubt
that the Colonial Government is acting in
full cognisance of its obligations in
defence matters.
