The annexed plans W and X show the two schemes.

It will be readily understood that consent would not have been given on the part of the War Office to a scheme which involved an overlapping of War Department land to the west of Arsenal Street by the Eastern Praya Extension.

In that memorandum the Director mentions that a question had arisen with regard to the boundary now in dispute, and in para: 8 thereof he says "the only satisfactory boundary which can be established between the two reclamations is a straight line to be drawn from the N.W. corner of Arsenal Street, otherwise objections must arise as to a portion of one frontage being obstructed by the neighbouring reclamation"
