With reference to previous cor-

-respondence on the subject of the boundary between War

Department Property and the proposed Praya East Reclamation

I have the honour to inform you that this boundary has now

been set out on the line proposed in the letter from the

War Office of the 14th. of May, 1904, a copy of which ac-

-companied your Despatch No. 160 of the 20th. of May, 1904,

and that Colonel Lewis, R.E., with whom the matter was

discussed while he was in the Colony, agreed that the bat-

-ter of the rubble slope of the Praya East Reclamation

between the coping level and the toe of the slope should

be allowed to project beyond this line provided that a

length of vertical wall with no rubble slope should be

constructed opposite the end of a jetty used by the Army

Service Corps round which it is desired to bring launches
