On the 11th September last we entered into negotiations
with the Director of Public Works for the acquisition of 4 Rural
After having Building Lots situate on the west side of Tytan Bay.
concluded negotiations as to price and conditions with the Govern-
ment in the customary manner, the land in question was put up to
auction today and acquired by certain Eurasians who overbid us and were, we feel convinced, determined to prevent the sale to us. We are satisfied that none of the purchasers desired any of the lots
in question for their own personal use, and we are not aware that
If wealthy they had even taken the trouble to visit the site.
Chinese or Eurasians are to continue to be allowed to outbid
British residents, it will be impossible for the latter to acquire
land on reasonable terms.
We contend that the development of the Colony is
dependent to a very great extent upon Britishers -
mean British subjects of pure European descent =
by the term we
and the fear of
a repetition of today's experience will at the least hinder if not
entirely discourage indifidual effort.
We have, etc.
