present day are used as Godowns, there was practically no difference in their value before and after the conversion; whereas the fact is, that the Western and larger block was converted into an Aerated Water Manufactory, and the net rents had decreased from $13,406 as a Marine Lot to $4,308 for 283 days in 1899 when the property was sold as an Inland Lot; thus his reasons are as unsound as his conclusion that the raising of the sea-bed and silting could have been further affected by the removal of our wooden pier when it was obvious that the reason was the depositing of the pierre perdue and the displacement of 27,000 tons of material as stated by Mr. Leigh.
He leaves out of consideration Governor Blake's offer to give us the new land in lieu of General Black's Award of $15,000, which land was sold at the rate of $5.78 per foot.
He disallows our claim for loss of rents for the reason stated in my letter of the 20th November last (par. 10) and further adds that he is satisfied that the alteration referred to did not detrimentally affect the property, as not rentals in 1895 were greater than any previous years, evidently forgetting the fact that up to 1895 we had a wooden pier running over the silting into deep water where cargo could be landed at all states of the tide, but after the removal of this pier by order of the Government, rents gradually decreased from $13,406 in 1895 to $4,308 for the 283 days to the 10th October in 1899, when the property was sold, and this disallowance regardless of the statement of his judicial assessor that if silting occurred, compensation for injury sustained may be awarded under the Ordinance.
That silting did occur is shewn by copy of photograph taken in May 1896 which I have the honour to enclose herewith, I also enclose copy of photograph shewing the Pier before the Reclamation.

present day are used as Godowna, there was practically no differ- ence in their value before and after the conversion; whereas tho fact 18, that the Western and larger block was converted into an Aerated Puter Vanufactory, and the net rents had decreased from $13,406 as a Huring Lot to $4,308 for 283 days in 1899 when the property was sold as an Inland Lot; thus his reasons ano # unsound as his conclusion that the raising of the sea- bed and 21lting could have been further affected by the removal of our wooden pier when it was obvious that the reason was the depositing of the pierre ferdu and the displacement of 27,000 tons of material as stated by Mr. Leigh.
He leaves out of consideration Dovurnor Blake' offer to give us the new land in lieu of General Black's Award of
$15,000, which land was sold at the rate offs.78 per foot.
He 11sallows our claim for 1048 of rents for the reason stuted in my letter of the 20th, November last (par. 10) and further adds that he is satisfied that the alteration referred to did not detrimentally affect the property, as not rontals in 1895 were greater than any previous yours, evidently forget- ting the fact that up to 1895 we had a wooden pier ruining over the silting into deep water whore cargo could be landed at all statos of the tide, but after the removal of this pier by order of the Government, rente gradually decreased from $18,106 la 1095 to $4,308 for the 285 days to the 10th. October in 1800, when the property van sold, and thie disallowance regardless of the statement of his judicial assessor thus if silting occurred, ocupenuation for injury sustained may be avarded
under the OrdinanOG.
That silbing did occur in whewn by oopy of photograph taken in May 1866 which I have the honour to enclose horewith, I also enclose copy of photograph shewing the Pier before the
Reclaration.
