they were April, having been sold on a 99 years lease; naturally anxious to obtain a similar Concession in the present case, and having regard to the fact that the land is to be used in connection with the same enterprise I was of opinion that a similar lease might properly be

granted in this case.

4.

The land will be put up to auction

at a premium of 10 cents a square foot and crown rent at the rate of $375 an acre (amounting to $ 4503) and with e proviso that $100,000 is spent on the property in rate- able improvements within 4 years,

The squatters referred to in the Di-

rector of Public Works' minute will be satisfactorily

compensated

by the purchaser.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

Humble servant,

GOVERNOR, &C.
