the success of the scheme.

This resumption will enable a

considerable economy to be made in the area of the old

market which can be made available for the new building.

The latter will be two storeys in height and if these

houses had not been resumed a space between the back of

them and the market would have had to be left for light

and ventilation which will now be afforded by the street

on which this side of the market will front. The design

and estimate for the market have not yet been completed,

but it is anticipated that the prospective rentals from

the building will show a good return in interest on the

capital cost including the cost of the resumption.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Mingas

Governor, &c.
