Inclosure No. 2 in Besp:

88

"(Copy) I recommend as a preliminary step for arriving at an understanding with the holders of Marine Lots relative to the formation of the Roadway, that a communication be made to each holder of a Marine Lot, to the effect that an option is offered him either to fill in the proposed amount of extension, and hold the reclaimed land at his present Rental, or to pay an increased rental for so much ground as the Government shall fill in, and he shall be found to be in possession of beyond the limits of his lease. It may further be intimated that should he decline to elect either of these alternatives, the whole of his lot will be resumed for public purposes, the work proposed being generally of so much importance to the Colony. A definitive reply should be required.
