With reference to Para. 2, I have carefully
reconsidered the arrangement come to by my predecessor as set forth
in his letter of the 13th. Hay, 1907, in reply to Your Excellency's
letter of the 9th. May, 1907, with respect to the approach road
to Mount Davis, and am strongly of opinion that this should be
held as a Military Reserve.
As stated in the letter under reply, this road
leads to nowhere except the batteries, and I consider it important
that the War Department should be in a position to exclude un-
-authorized persons from having access to the same.
3.
With reference to paragraph 3, the amendment of
the Clearance Area so as to exclude the leased areas hatched red
is concurred in; but, for purposes of defence from an attack by
land, it is essential that there should be clearance rights over
an area to the East of the red lines on the plan forwarded, and an
amended plan, which it is requested may be returned, is enclosed
showing, within yellow lines, the area over mich it is considered
clearance rights should obtain.
It is not considered desirable to exclude any
portion of the ground outlined in yellow on the plan referred to
above. The object being to avoid the erection of buildings which
might lend themselves to the support of an advance against Mount
Davis by way of the saddle and ridge joining High West to Lount
Davis or by the slope leading up from Sandy Bay to the above
mentioned
