16th. June, 1906.
I have the honour to acknowledge the re- ceipt of Your Excellency's letter A/2875/12 dated the 8th. instant on the subject of the proposed road and reclamation
of the foreshore at North Point and asking for information
Information as to the extent of the reclamation and as to
when and by whom it is to be carried out.

I think it will give a better insight into
the question from the point of view of the Goverment, of
which Your Excellency is a member, if I first explain the
general policy of that Goverment in the matter of reclama
tions of foreshore and the formation of main roads in con-
nection with them.

The most valuable sites for the commersial
undertakings #ith which the prosperity of the Colony is
most intimately bound up are those abutting on both shores
of the harbour. The area available for such aites is
limited and consequently every fresh development of the
business of the Colony requires this area to be artificial-
ly increased by reclamation. Unless this reclamation is
carried out on a systematic plan and in connection with
main communications giving access to it and to the land be-
hind it and with due regard to the drainage of that land
each accretion to the areas in the Colony occupied by
EXCELLECTY
THE GENERAL OFFICER COMMANDING.
