Memorandum relative to the application
of A. Campbell Esqr for the grant of the Lot No 644, formerly held by Dirome, Gray & Co.
The lots Nos 29 and 30 applied for by the Hongkong Steam Company as a grant, rent free, and recommended by Sir John For to the Rt. Honble the Earl Grey, have a frontage of 210 feet by a depth of 50 feet to high water mark. The ground between the road and the sea is low and irregular, which would require some considerable outlay thereon, and before it could be used in any manner by the Company, it would be necessary for them to reclaim a portion of the ground, and perhaps build a sea wall. The aggregate rental was £88.13.14.
The lot now applied for had originally a frontage of 223 feet, and an average depth of 106 feet; rental £181.0.72. These dimensions might now be enlarged. The ground
