A provisional estimate of the total cost of

a new infectious diseases hospital was given in 1933 as

$165,000 but this estimate was based on the accommodation

then considered necessary and may have little relation

to present requirements. The question is being examined

by the Director of Public Works and a revised estimate

will be submitted as soon as possible. The Finance

Committee of the Legislative Council have already expressed

their informal approval of the scheme and I shall be glad

if I may be given authority under Colonial Regulation

No.265 to obtain their formal consent to a vote for the

additional expenditure under the new sub-head.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

of bs. Northern

Governor.
