E.—No. 4.

Appendix G. Cost of Lighthouses and other Works in Progress, actual and estimated.

* This amount was paid (as a refund to the Provincial Grovernment of Otago) in 1865. As it is not charged against Schedule B, Public Debts Act, it is kept separate from the other items. f These amounts are partly estimated. j The estimate for fitting up Manukau Light does not include any allowance for providing accommodation for a light-keeper. § By adding the price of the lantern and apparatus, £2,296 19s. 6d. (as stated in the first line), to £3,895 15s. 10d., it will bo seen that the total cost of Nugget Point Lighthouse, complete, will be £6,192 15s. 4d. || On the assumption that an amount of £4,000, which has been placed to credit of Lighthouses, has been disbursed. 1" On the above assumption, that £4,000 has been paid in England already.
