September,
Sir,
Referring to the 7th. paragraph of my Des-
patch No. 464 of the 5th. instant forwarding the Estimates for
1904, I have the honour now to submit for your consideration
the enclosed copy of the report of a Committee which with the
advice of the Executive Council I appointed to draw up definite
proposals for the formation of a Trust to which might be assign-
ed the work of carrying out, subject to the approval of the
Goverment, schemes for the resumption of Insanitary areas and
the laying out of such areas when cleared of buildings in new
streets and building sites.
2.
This report has been considered by my
Executive Council and approved with the modifications shewn
in the margin of the report.
3.
Steps have already been taken as you are
aware towards the improvement of Insanitary areas in the City
by resumption.
H
These schemes involve a great deal of
thought and labour, and I am strongly of opinion that the
Director of Public Works has already more than enough work to
fully occupy his time without burdening him with advising
schemes
Government on and supervising the carrying out of the large THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE
COLONIES.
