I have the honour to return the Correspondence forwarded,
as per your
Minute of 30th Ultimo, and to state that as soon as a boundary
stone be placed at the point marked X
in pencil on
the plan, where the proposed New Road branches off from that leading towards the Albany,
I think the ground to the South
may
be considered transferred from the War Department to the Colonial Government, the date of placing the stone and its exact position
be recorded as evidence, on the plans retained in this office.
There is one point which seems to have been overlooked in giving up this ground, and that is the Military Tank and Mains supplying Murray Barracks; it should be noted on the plans to be retained in the Colonial and Royal Eng's Offices (subject to the approval of His Excellency) that these will still remain the Property of the War Department, and that they are to remain undisturbed and that free access to them at all times shall be allowed.
