I am well aware that some objections must be made to the plan, and without unanimity such a project will never be carried into effect satisfactorily, it will be of no avail if the whole road be not completed and opened up from end to end, one dissentient may frustrate the whole scheme. I am therefore of opinion it would be desirable to intimate to the several tenants that the Government is prepared to execute this necessary service for them and to agree to adopt whichever of the two modes I propose for effecting the object.

As regards the minute of Captain Cowper I am inclined to coincide with him that in the Lower Bazaar the tenants having reclaimed to the limit agreed upon and formed the Strand Road boundary, if they wish to extend further they do pay an additional Rent, or permission for such extension will not be granted. The same decision may be come to in other parts of the Town if after the extreme limit for the present has been defined and agreed to, and in subsequent years a further extension be desired by the tenants they should be assessed for such additional ground.

With reference to a remark in the Minute of the Colonial Secretary's and Treasurer I disagree with him as materially affecting the plan for the removal of the Police Station on Hill, the two services should proceed together, as the wants of the community.
