SURVEYOR GENERAL TO THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY,
SURVEYOR GENERAL'S OFFICE, 27th August, 1880.
SIR, With reference to an item of $1000 inserted by me and approved by the Governor in the Praft Estimates for 1881 to defray the cost of rebuilding the Mortuary Chapel at the Protestant Cemetery, the Colonial Chaplain has enquired whether that work could not be conveniently set on and this year in lieu of waiting until next December, as there is considerable inconvenience in onducting fueral Services in the open air. I have therefore the honour to ask whether His Excellency rould be disposed to allow of a supplementary vote of $1,000 in the current year's Estimates, to nable the work to be proceeded with next month.
I have the honour to be,
Sir, Your obedient Servant,
Honourable F. STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
27th August, 1880.
MISUTE BY THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY,
Submitted

Surveyor General. -
FREDERICK STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.
The usual item of late years in the annual Estimates, of $1,000 for the maintenance of the Prot- estant Cemetery, I have, at Mr. PRICE's request, doubled in the Estimates that I recently submitted to the Executive Council for the year 1881, on the ground that $1,000 additional would be required to rebuild the Mortuary Chapel.

As it now appears from the Surveyor General's letter of to-day's date, that the Colonial Chaplain would prefer to have this work taken in hand at once, let it be done; and let a Supplementary Esti- nate for the current year be prepared. A corresponding reduction can be made in the Estimates for 1881 when the Legislative Council are dealing with the votes next week in Committee.
J. POPE HENNESSY.
