The Hon’ble 
the Engineer in charge of the pumping station to 
give me his ideas on the subject I have also read 
through the papers and Estimates by the Public 
Worh Department, Messrs* Howarth Erslrine, Messrs* 
Riley Hargreaves and Messrs* Hogan & Go.The Esti¬ 
mates range from $7,400 to about $3,000, so that •* 
in ashing for authority for $5,000 the best parts 
of each Scheme can be selected. 
5.- The money that is to pay for this I would 
respectfully beg leave to talte from the proceeds 
of our' rubber sale's. I have at present a credit 
balance of $5,400 which will be increased to 
nearly $7,000 in about two months when the next 
sale of rubber tahes place, and as the monthly 
expenditure is only about $100 it will be seen 
that there is plenty of money to do the worli at 
once. 
I have the honour to be 
Sir, 
Your obedient servant
