The primary object urged in its favour being to enable the construction of a carriage Road at the cost of the Colonial Government over M. & E. Lands near the Albany to the boundary from Jap.

7. The permission to make this road does not in any way necessitate the relinquishment of the M. & E. Lands on either side of it, and its being made, which would no doubt be a great boon to the Public, would merely entail precautionary measures regarding the new Magazine alongside which it passes.

8. Should land, however, be relinquished beyond that necessary for the road - it would doubtless be let for building lots or Gardens and would affect the purity of the present Military Supply to the whole of the Barracks as well as entail the loss of the existing Rifle Range.

9. No doubt the land thus utilized would somewhat augment the Colonial Revenues
