subject, when the proposals at present under discussion have
reached a more concrete stage.
6. In order to facilitate residential building development
schemes, I requested your permission to sell Crown Land by
private treaty instead of by public auction in certain
selected cases, and I have been glad to receive your approval,
conveyed in your telegram No. 686 of 14th August.
7. I have recently appointed Mr. R.S.W. Paterson of the Public
Works Department to be Quartering Authority to ensure that all
residential accommodation under Government control, either

and the business community.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble, servant,

GOVERNOR.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
