Enclosure 237 draft despatches expected

for ship's consideration a Draft Bill entitled "An Ordinance 1894 with for the Summary Resumption of certain Crown Lands situate in the Taipingshan District of the City of Victoria and for other purposes", and to state that the Bill will probably be passed substantially in the form in which it now stands.

As I have already informed Your Lordship, the estimated cost of resuming the Taipingshan area is $800,000, which sum I anticipate it will be ultimately necessary to raise by loan. I need hardly point out that the cost of resumption will be to a great extent recouped by future sales of building sites in the resumed area.

I have therefore to request that Your Lordship will see fit to transmit by telegraph Her Majesty's assent to the Ordinance on receipt of it.
