"That this principle cannot be applied in such cases sust, I think, be obvious to any one who looks at the line of the old Praya wall. Where an angle occurs thus:-

it will be seen that the

owner of the lot situated in

the abgle would sacrifice

his frontage entirely,

whereas, with the opposite

condition, as regards the

angle, thus:!

the owner of the correspon-

ding lot would gain enormoUSİ

ly.

ì

If the same

principle were applied to the Admiralty and War Department front- age, adjoining Murray Foad and Arsenal Street, the effect would

be to cut off a considerable area of their joint reclimation next

Murray Road and to practically introduce the line which I propose

at Arsenal Street."
