Sanitary Departments amounts to no less than $920,279 while the total amount estimated for the construction of such Public Buildings as have actually been commenced or are in contemplation is $2,540,237, which will have to be further increased should a new gaol be constructed.
8. The Officer Administering the Government is fully sensible of effecting economy in so far as is possible. It is at all times difficult to lay down any hard-and-fast line as to how this is to be done, but there are many little ways in which those who are entrusted with the expenditure of public moneys can guard against needless expenditure.
The financial condition of the Colony may be regarded on the whole as satisfactory, the revenue being quite sufficient to meet any ordinary expenditure but while this is so and while not begrudging what is necessary for its development and general good the Officer Administering the Government entirely concurs that every prudence should be exercised in dealing with public moneys.
