The Company by special
condition 17 undertakes to pay a sum of $55,000 towards
the cost of this road. This sum will be sufficient
to cover the whole cost of the road to the southern
boundary of the Company's property, and half the cost
from that point to the end.

I am satisfied that the scheme will add
considerably to the amenities of the Colony, and that the grant of area 'A' to the Company is a necessary
feature of it. The matter has been under consideration
for over twelve months; it has from time to time been
discussed with my Executive Council, both generally and
in detail, and has now been unanimously approved. I should therefore be glad if I might have your approval for the disposal of area 'A' to the Company on the terms
proposed. As detailed plans, drawings, etc. will
have to be prepared, and as it is most desirable that
work in connection with the scheme should be commenced
immediately the present bathing season closes, I should be glad to have your reply by telegraph.
By
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Wo.d. Southor.
Officer Administering the Government.
