side, where the land gained would well repay the expense of anything. It will probably be found necessary very soon to make some public landing places, and the Government Market will require to be enlarged; for the former several pieces of land have been selected, and for the latter the adjacent lot has been reserved.
It appears to me to be desirable that, in disposing of land for building, there should be a classification of lots, - buildings of a particular class only to be allowed in certain localities; for instance, Chinese Bazaars only to be permitted at intervals where it may be found necessary, a proper degree of uniformity to be insisted on in building streets.
In some of the lots already built upon, the proprietors have slightly exceeded their limits; and, in a few instances, they have taken possession of more land than the quantity for which they were registered. Much confusion has arisen from the land never being properly set out, and even the Surveyor not knowing its limits. As soon as the Survey is finished, this will be rectified, and the precise quantity, and shape, in the occupation of each person will be laid down.
There is only a single instance of a person claiming a large quantity of land for which he is not registered.
Subjoined to this Report is a list of all the lots that have in any way been disposed of on the island, up to this date, specifying by whom granted.
