Hon: Colonial Secretary,
I saw His Excellency yesterday by appointment.
I an of opinion that the resumption of Marine Lot 20 & 21 for
the purpose
of carrying out the proposed scheme would be
in the interests of the public.
The straightening widening of the Queen's Road
}
and thus doing away with the sharp bend opposite these lots
would undoubtedly be to the public advantage and as the
carrying out of thes alteration is conditional on the
adoption of the scheme of general improvement in its entirety,it would appear necessary to resume the whole of
Lots 20 & 21 for this purpose.

Surveyor General.
