should such Extension be required.
In order to facilitate this arrangement the Secretary of State for War would be prepared - should there be no local objection - to give up certain Quarters and ground at Spring Gardens which would then be no longer required for War department purposes, and this property it is considered would form an equivalent for a portion of the above mentioned plots.
As regards any contribution by the War department towards the cost of these works, I have to observe that they are by no means necessary to the War Department but as the Secretary of State for War conceives that by their execution the War Department property would, to a certain extent, be improved by getting rid of unhealthy accumulations on it, he would be prepared to consider what payment, if any, should be made on being furnished with the Plans and Estimate for carrying out the improvements as now proposed, should the Secretary of State for the Colonies concur in the suggestions made herein.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Obedient Servant,
