when one is raised, unless you feel that the expenditure

has already been covered.)

In your letter S51336 of the 26th February to

Mr. T.W. Davies you authorized an expenditure of £145,313

on water supplies. Details of this estimated expenditure

were given in a letter from Mr. Kenrick of the 28th January

a copy of which Mr. Davies sent to you in a letter dated

2nd February (reference 59024/2/45). Of this £145,313

I understand that there is still an unexpended balance of

approximately £35,000. The purchase of boring plant

(£2,700) was not specifically mentioned in Mr. Kenrick's

letter nor of course the actual cost of the work (£2300).

You may think however that the authority given in your

letter referred to above for an expenditure up to £145,000

can be taken to cover the expenditure of £5,000 for which

the Governor now asks.

As unfortunately there has

already been a delay in

dealing with this matter here I should be most grateful

to you for an early reply and for the return or the

memorandum.

Yours sincerely,
