With reference to paragraph 4 of my despatch No.400 of the 11th July, 1934, and to your despatch No.333

of 4th September, 1934, I have the honour to inform you that 34

owing to the late arrival from England of the fittings

required in connection with the installation of the hot water

system to the Maternity block of the Victoria Hospital it

has not been possible to complete this work during 1934.

2.

No provision has been made in the 1935 Estimates

and it will therefore be necessary to approach the Legislative Council during 1935 for a revote of approximately $11,000,

representing the amount of the accepted tender. I shall be

glad to receive your authority in due course for this

expenditure.

3.

Meanwhile as the work is in progress I have

allowed it to continue in anticipation of your approval. RAIN.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

In the

Governor, &c.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

SIR P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER, G.B.E., M.C., M.P.,
