Land Coment
Si
Government House Nongthing
I, the April 1843.
I have deferred replying to your private letter
of the 2nd ults with the various Enclosures
on
the subject of Stone Quarries
until I should have
an
opportunity of consulting
the Land Officer
and
Surveyor..
I now think it advisable to record the result of
my communication with Mr. Gordon and the decision which I have come to as a
guide for the
future
There
does
not appear to be the least risk
of the supply of
good Stone
this Island failing
as inexhaustible Quarries can
be opened up in
more
they
are
every direction, and the better, as adding to the level ground of the Island, fit for building upon.
J. Johnston Esq.
Deputy Superintendent
