Colonial Office,

Downing Street,

2. June, 1939.

Dear Caine,

In the Governor's despatch No. 195 of the

15th March, the Secretary of State's approval is asked

for supplementary expenditure of $40,851,06 under

Head 31, Public Works Extraordinary, of the Estimates

for 1939 to cover the cost of the final payment to the

Admiralty in respect of the transfer to the Colonial

Government of the former Naval Arsenal Yard.

We have not been able to trace any despatch

from the Colony reporting a settlement of the aerial

ropeway impasse. To enable us to deal with the

despatch of the 15th March, would you kindly let us

have some further information showing how the matter

has been cleared up?

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) G. E. J. GENT.
