Chinese Houses on the lower portion of the land belonging to War Department, to which portion the application of the Officer Commanding the Troops was confined.

Enclosure 1.

Report by the Hon'ble the Acting Attorney General and the Honourable The Surveyor General.

1882

We have personally visited the premises referred to by Tres & Susson Firm, and have inspected the rest of the houses in the same street and in the district generally.

In consequence of the great influx of Chinese to this particular quarter, and the adaptation of the interiors of former European and Parsee residences to Chinese occupation, a course of action which the Government could not practically have impeded, we find that the line laid down in 1877 is no longer tenable, as de facto it, in many places, no longer exists, and we have no hesitation in recommending that the Government should have the Officer Administering to amend the line by carrying it from Hollywood Road, up Shelby Street, to Staunton Street and Peel Street as shown by the red line in the accompanying map.
