This Board is of opinion, that under the uncertainty which now exists as to the plan which Her Majesty's Government will adopt with regard to this Colony, it is desirable to defer affixing names to any particular places, which names may eventually be totally inapplicable to the uses to which such spots or places will be appropriated.

For instance, should Your recommendation be carried out, there will no doubt hereafter be the "Ordnance Land" with the "East and West Barriers", and Sir Henry Pottinger observes in some Papers which have been sent to him by the Naval Commander in Chief connected with the selection of Naval Locations, that that piece of ground which His Excellency had proposed to designate the "Place" or "Parade" is described as the "Middle Store". The Land Officer, Mr Gordon, has been instructed to attend at your office for the purpose of having the numbers of Lots and Locations inserted on the Map from his Report, which will clearly show their respective positions, and any further distinction in colour to which you and Mr Gordon may consider advisable, can be adopted to distinguish the Marine, Town, and Suburban Lots from each other.
