and the Government Notification N. 58, in the Gazette of the 11th November last, distinctly states that the soil of Lots in front of the Parade Ground and Court House "have been so arranged" as to conform to a project contemplated
• by Government, by which a Praya will
be constructed extending Northwards of the City of Victoria from the Parade Ground to Possession Point.
A Minute on the advantages, &c., of the Praya, which had recently been submitted to His Excellency, The Governor, is then published; and Leaseholders who, by contiguity of property, are interested in the improvement proposed, were requested to communicate with
the Surveyor General, at whose Office the Plan was ready for inspection.
The main point in the published
139
Minute, after setting forth the advantages that would result to the public generally from the construction of the Strand Road, seems to be
• Each holder of a Lease Lot to be required to fill in the space before his
house up to the sea-wall, and, in
cases where this has already been done, and done to the satisfaction, so much of the reclaimed ground as may be necessary
must be retained.
"On the completion of this project all
the Marine Lots affected by it to be
Remeasured, and, unless some special
reason appear, the dimensions of each
Lot to be registered according to the
dimensions thus shown, and no
additional rent charged for the increase,
or a proportionate reduction in rent
according to the amount cleared, &c., &c."
