To
of the prosent Prays and at an Average distance from of about 260 fost, along its whole length ex- feeding from the War Office pro porty at the North Barracks to the Gas Works, a distance of some 3,400 yards, or nearly two miles. To fill in with earth and stone the. in- tervening apace, comprising an area of some 56 acrea, in such a manter that it shall be available for building purposes; and
To construct upon this reclaimed area the necessary streets with all requi- site channels and sewers,
work which, besidea a considerablo no- ber of cross-streets; will includo a new Praya, 15 feet in width along the whole length of the new sea wall, and the widening to 75 foot for a si- milar distance of the present Fraya which will thus become an inlaud street...
The cost of all these works, the amount
of which is estimated at somewhat more than $2,600,000, is to be defrayed by the owners of the marine frontage affected by the proposed reclamation, on the terms at- ranged in the correspondence which hat been published; and now expressent in this Ordinauco
i.
As however the maintenance of the now sea-wall when completed will bes charge on the public funda, it has been deemed neces- sary that its construction should be under the strict supervision of the Government. So that for this reason and on other grounde of obvious conveniense the whole of the works will be undertaken by the Surveyor General's Departinent, under a special Enginoor appointed for the purposè, Though the owners of frontage lots, as the Governor is advised on high authority, are nos in a position analogous to that of ripari- WELEY.au proprietors, insstool as they have no immediate access to the sea (the foreshore baring for many years beea ocupied by a wide publio street), it is held that whatever may be their legal rights they have for ... CROPIN.Various reasons, veli understood here, a moral claim to compensation in respect of reclamations in front of their land. On this ground, therefore, and in order to avoid the endless litigation that would otherwise arise in respect of the complicated ...Kunav. intersata involved, it has been deemed right ... PINSUTI. to coma terms with them, under which they will undertake the whole cost and GUILANT, risk of the work, and will receive in return a very large share of the profits, estimated from the present value of frontige Isad i to reach the large total of over 85,000,000,
The Governor was of opinion that this profit on the part of the lot-holders was unduly large and that either they should pay a considerable sum by way of preminu, or the Government should carry out the reclamation on its own account, Paging quitable compensation for any injury to private rights. The Secretary of State however did not take this tier, and has decided that in any case negotiations have gone too far to impose any such stipulation now; and he according y sanctioned with some minor modifications the terms pro- visionally arranged with the lot-holders approved the draft of the Ordinance now submitted for carrying them into effect.

Some rather amusing stories are told of how the Spanish officials, with pou pous ceremonial, attached their soals to two huge safes, one of which contained a dollar and the other ten dollars; and it is said that while the front doors were closed and the official seals affixed to them, business was going on briskly by the back doore of the Bank. Of course, now that security bas been given, the business of the Bank is going on quite normally.
