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
the same pay and ration, while afloat; but when not
afloat, they do not receive the ration. Nothing is
saved in money; and in case that they go on voyages,
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

The Spanish master-smith at Cavite formerly received

The Indian smiths who serve in the smithies of Cavite,
the artillery foundry, and the arsenal of this city
of Manila generally number one hundred, more rather
than less. The boss received one hundred and twenty
pesos per year, and sixty gantas of cleaned rice per
month. The rest received various sums, and thirty
gantas of rice per month. Now the boss receives one
hundred pesos, and the others the same pay as before,
but the ration that is given them must be on the
account of their pay, and is fifteen gantas to each
one--boss and all. Twenty pesos are saved on the boss,
besides seven hundred and thirty gantas of rice,
and thirty-six thousand five hundred gantas from the
one hundred Indians. 20 p. 730 0
