Napier, 5th September, 1865.
Notes:
-
During the year the sum of £563 4s. 5d. was received from the Commissariat Department towards the expense of Troops at Waipawa, so that in reality there is no over expenditure on this account.
-
The Council, by Resolution of 22nd January, 1864, agreed to indemnify the Superintendent in respect of an expenditure not to exceed £1000 for placing the Steam Dredge in a state of repair, by which amount, therefore, the unauthorised expenditure for Harbour Purposes would be reduced.
-
The sum of £24 10s. has been refunded by Members of the Colonial Defence Force against this amount.
