copies of some correspondence

on the same

has taken place between

Major-General Cameron, the Officer Commanding the troops and myself.

It will be seen

that I laid before General Cameron

the 6th instant

a scheme

for his consideration

under which he would have

been able to surrender

to the

Naval Authorities

a portion of

the land on the water frontage

urgently required for the

extension of the Naval Yard;

he would have been able to

build barracks

on

a healthier site not only free of

cost but with a profit remaining

after the work was done; and the Civil Government would

have been able to

carry

out

the Praya Extension also without

expense.
