My telegram No. 1255.

Disposal of Crown Land.

As I have inferred in my telegram under reference

little advantage was taken by the public of the opportunity

to acquire Crown land by private treaty for home building as

authorized for one year by your telegram 686 of 1946.

2.

In view of the strong representations put forward

by the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council during

the Housing Debate on July 10th, 1947, I deemed it wise

after careful deliberation in Executive Council, and in antici-

pation of your approval, to issue the attached statement.
