"Station Conference Protocoll"

Information on costs of building and transport. £130 had been set aside by the Basel Committee for the building of the new station. So far 226 Thaler have been spent on the stock-houses and Brethren Süss’s house. That leaves 350 Thaler. In fact a total of 685 Thaler is still needed (There is an exchange rate of 4.4 Thaler to £1 used here - this could be checked twice over by the rather fuller figures in the Conference Protocoll). For porto £50 has been approved and £34 has been already spent. £37 more will be needed under this head, and the committee are asked to remember .that a load costs 2/3 more to get to Gyadam than to Akropong (It appears that they are accounting January-December).
