leave to select two dots of Land, one
on Each side
of the harbour; and
but in a Return of Grants made by
Acting
Mr. Caine there appears a Suburban Lot for himself, which we presume must
be not an additional lot, but one of the
lots sanctioned by Sir Henry Pottinger. This Return mentions it as charged
with a rent of $10 like other
Suburban Lots, and as unimproved.
It bringing to a conclusion a Report which has unavoidably entered
into so much detail, it
may
be convenient briefly to sum up the practical
Points that have been offered for
Consideration. They are,
1st to confirm upon Hong Kong the
disposal of the marine lots at Captain Collinson's Isles by Auction, and to do the same as to the Marine Lots disposed of by Mr. Fruston;
2ndly to leave it to Sir Henry Pottinger to deal equitably with the town and Suburban Lots disposed of by Mr. Caine;
3rdly not to confirm the exemption of particular Individuals from rent on the ground that their undertakings are of Public Utility;
4thly To assent to the Grant of suitable sites to the Hospital and the Educational Institutions named by the Governor;
5th To draw the Governor's attention to the duration of the tenure to be assigned respectively to Bazaar Lots & to Suburban Lots; and
6th to instruct him with such
Instructions
as to their
Disposal
