Sir,

I have the honour to submit for your decision the following point which has arisen in connection with the rights of this Government over the piers and wharves erected on Crown Land within the waters of this Colony.

2. Before the passing of Ordinance 15 of 1889 there were no laws on the subject of piers and wharves, though the construction of some had been sanctioned by Special Ordinance (18 and 19 of 1884).

3. In March 1893 it was brought to the notice of the Government that the rents which were being paid by pier owners or lessees for the encroachment over the Crown foreshore or over the bed of the harbour were much too low and out of all proportion to the value of the piers. The question was considered in Executive Council and it was decided that under Section 68 of Ordinance 15 of 1889 as amended by Ordinance 35 of 1891 a revised schedule should be drawn up comprising increased rates and a new form
