the land marked in
the plan "Lot 832" is private property, but
as real sotale values in this suburb are not
high, I apprehend the cost of a (rown levamp :

the site.
5. The position is about a mile and a
Third from
the
Centre of
the town and
the neighbourhood of
the Supreme Court, the
Police Court, and the Police Banacks, and
the declivity being less
steep
than

the
what is Equally important__
the locality is airy and heality, and removed from the immediate vicinity of
houses.
6. But although this will be found to be the most convenient hillside spot in Victoria, I
fear I am only able to recommend it to the Earl of Kimberley as a pis aller, owing to the
objections which allach to sloping ground alle =ded to by Mr Meade in the latter under reply.
I have the honour to be, Sir:
Your
most obedient Lewant
