sir,
I have the honour to transmit for your
favourable consideration the enclosed copy of a letter from
the trustees of the Jewish Synagogue in this Colony applying
for the free grant of a piece of land to be used as an exten-
sion of the Jewish Cemetery.
2.
There is no objection on the part of this
Goverment to the proposed extension. The amount of land asked
for is slightly over one acre, and the manner in which it
will be laid out is shown on the accompanying tracing. It is
valued by the Director of Public Works at $7,773.00. The
present Cemetery is very small and is now full; an extension
is therefore a necessity, and the area for which application
has been made would be in every respect suitable. I recommend
that it be granted to the trustees at a nominal Crown Rent of
$1.00 per annum.
Enclosure 2.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Heung adhake
Governor, &c..
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE
COLONIES.
