by the Wairoa Militia and Pokeno Rangers Volun-
teers. After the latter date, their place was supplied
by a detachment of Armed Constabulary, under
Sub-Inspector Kenny. I obtained, however, special
authority to retain, as brickmakers and bricklayers,
one non-commissioned officer and four privates of the
first-named corps. On the 14th of this month the
work ceased, and the whole were ordered to Cam-
bridge.

The number of days' work given has been 104,
but a deduction must be made from this for wet
weather. The men have been employed five working
days, of six and a half hours during each week; and
the average daily number of working hands has been
twenty-four.

VII. Expenditure.—The amount of local expendi-
ture for tools, &c., has been £52 15s. 2d.;* but this
sum does not include the charge for conveyance
of lime by steamer, the amount of which I am
unable at this present time to furnish.

VIII. Materials, Plant, and Labour Value.—(See
Appendix.)—It will be seen from the appended
statement, that the market value of the bricks and
other material produced has been £209 16s. 6d.;
that the value of plant and buildings erected
amounts to £36 18s.; and that bricklaying and
carpentry have been done to the value, at current
rates, of £20 16s. 6d. A very large quantity of
earthwork building and excavation has also of course
been done—in fact this has been the greatest portion
of the work; but it is not possible exactly to appraise
the value of this kind of work, and I have therefore
not alluded to it.

The total value of work, apart from this, effected
by the labour of the Armed Constabulary, amounts,
according to the sum of the three items above
mentioned, to £267 9s.

However inadequate such a sum may seem, com-
pared with the value of contract labour, it cannot
but be looked upon as clear gain to the Government;
for the men were taking their guard and other
military duties, and were not a whit less efficient
in them because otherwise employed during fatigue-
hours. I believe that they were happier and healthier
for the moderate labour which they were called upon
to perform, and it no doubt saved them from much
of the listless ennui which is the lot of small posts
and detachments. H. W. YOUNG, Capt.,
