the site of ha-Eart Towns, the object of my first regulation will be perceived: The Marine Lots will have value far superior to any other; the Town Lots will have no inconsiderable value; and the Leberben lots will probably in the lapse of time have their value greatly enhanced.
regulation II. The space of two hundred feet from which mark is made the maximum distance, they are allowed to encroach. From my own observation on H. and because I perceived the public road round the Island will in few instances be required to go further off than that distance while in many instances it must go nearer.
The rate of one pound per one hundred and ninety-nine square feet is the average price picked by the sale of land which was disposed of, on the 14th June; and it would not be generous to undersell that land as it is to be presumed the settlement made by the proper persons appointed to decide. land will apply to both equally, I may say, the tenure.
From personal observation I am enabled to state that at Hong-Kong Town, at "Check-Chesn", at "Wang-nuching", and at check-pywan, may be found places more or less large that should be reserved for Town Lots, and according to these regulations they will be laid out by the Land officer.
The suburban Lots it is desirable should be larger than the Town lots and intended for gardens and orchards, as well as for residences. Regulation & appears to those persons who have settled down on Hong Kong, against every obstacle and have on various occasions supplied the Fleet when it could not otherwise obtain provisions.
