Governor Gonzalo Mendez Canzo believed the amount to be even higher. According to his calculations, feeding and clothing a friar cost the treasury 4-1/2 reales a day, or 149 ducats a year [when their plazas were only 115-ducats], equivalent to 205 pesos-virtually the same amount that the Consejo would set as a ceiling in 1706 (Mendez Canzo, 1602).
