Colonial Government cables and the Joint Telegraph Companies' cables all landed on the foreshore immediately East of the Dock Company's existing premises and that the question of the expediency of laying out a new cable reserve and taking up and relaying the cables would have to be considere1.

On the 9th November 1900 General Gascoigne agreed to

the request made in a letter of the 25th October from the

Director of Public Works that a further area in addition to that shewn on the plan enclosed in the General Officer Commanding's letter of the 15th September be handed over to the Colonial

Government.

On the 6th November Mr.Gillies proposed the following teras: (1) ten cents premium a square foot: (2) lease for period of 999 years: (9) Crown rent to be $800 an acre: (4) construction within 5 years of a new dock capable of containing the largest vessels of Her Majesty's Navy. But the Dock Company objected to the Government claim for right of prior entry at all times, adding that "in the case of the last lock constructed

and for this special purpose the Government made a free grant to the Dock Company of £25,000. This concession will expire in

1905 and should the Admiralty be desirous of renewing the same

including the proposed new docks, the Directors are willing to

enter into negotiations for continuing to the ships of Her

Majesty's Navy the right of price entry to all the docks and

slips owned by the Company." The Company agreed to make a

suitable pier for military purposes in such a position as might

thereafter be decide on and to make a new piece of road join-

ing on to the old pathway which led to the East Battery.

Mr.Gillies
