Restricted in the use of the foreshore and the sea bed in front of the property forming the Naval Establishments is not endorsed by the Secretary of State; but My Lords feel it necessary to point out that whatever the rights of the Colony may have been, they were clearly acquired by the Admiralty as part of the arrangement under which the Admiralty agreed to carry out at their own expense the widening of the Queens Road from Murray Pier Road to Arsenal Street.

With regard to the Governor's remarks as to the effect of any Westward Extension upon the Murray Pier, the Victoria Recreation Club and the Foreshore, My Lords stated in their letter of 19th October 1898 above referred to, that before any such Extension is undertaken on this side of the proposed Naval Yard a further reference would be made to the Secretary of State on the matter.

Should it be decided to carry out any Westward Extension, My Lords will give their careful consideration to the objections raised and will endeavour to meet the wishes of the Colonial Office in the matter.
