The chief calker who is generally at the port of
Cavite formerly received three hundred pesos, and
his ordinary ration of two gantas of cleaned rice
daily. Now he receives the same pay, but the revision
deprives him of the ration, which amounts to seven
hundred and thirty gantas 0 730 0
There are seven Spanish calkers in the said ports
and along the shore. They formerly received three
hundred pesos per year, and one ganta of cleaned rice
daily. Now they receive two hundred and fifty pesos,
and the same ration when afloat; but if not afloat
they do not receive that ration. By the difference in
this, as above stated, the saving in this particular
is one-half of the ration, which amounts to one
thousand two hundred and seventy-seven gantas,
besides the three hundred and fifty pesos in reals,
reckoning fifty pesos from each of the seven

There are seven Spanish coopers in the said places,

There are generally four Indian coopers in the said
ports, who received sixty pesos per year apiece, and
one-half ganta of cleaned rice daily. Now they receive

there is saved in this one-half of the four rations,
which amount to three hundred and sixty-five gantas
of cleaned rice 0 365 0
