Bowrington!

Plantation |

The whole would form an area (six acres) of 312,360 square feet, sufficiently larger for a gaol. The cost of resuming the land would be about $22,000 (vide appendix:11) and the only other expense in connection with the preparation of the site would be $2,000 in the slight deviations of a carriage road.

6. The tracing marked C. shows an alternative site in the present Bowrington tree nursery, which being Government property and being already on level ground does not necessitate any expenditure. It contains 604,250 square feet and is larger than the Stone Cutters' Island site.

7. There is no other available ground on the northern side of the island on which a gaol could be built, except the three localities here mentioned, and they are not without their drawbacks, more particularly the Lap-sai-pwan site.
