Acting Colonial Secretary, the Acting Surveyor General and Colonial Surgeon, I visited the site proposed by
M. Price in his letter of 5th March last to the Colonial Office. Apart the drawback connected with the
sloping nature of the ground the ~ site appears a very good
more healthy
one and a
one could hardly
be found in the Colony. The lot
marked 892 referred to by M. Price I am informed resumed
was
some years ago.
so that the whole
of the ground required belongs to
the Government.

The Acting Surveyor
General has prepared a tracing of
this
Enclosure 6-
this ground with longitudinal and transverse sections which may be
useful to Mr Price
if he has not yet
left England. Mr. Bowdler however thinks that the site at Bowrington
of which a tracing is also annexed
is
preferable both on the score
of less expense and more ventilation. This site is 16 feet above Ordnance datum whilst the sections taken
on the land above Bonham Road
are 100
-feet above this datum.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your fordship's Most Obadiant Humble event,
