which buildings are in course of construction. The two plots

belonging to the HongKong and Shanghai Bank, which are turfed

desirable it will be, if possible,to retain as open spaces

the space of 28,800 square feet shewn on the plan.

building is shewn the site for the Law Courts at present

encumbered with tiled sheds.
