The Honourable

Mr. W. Chatham,

sir,

Surveyor to H.M. the King.

I am in receipt of your favour of 23rd.

October with enclosures.

I would respectfully point out that the

Lessee of Inland Lot No. 1523 has on no less than threa

occasions built up this retaining wall and that on the last

occasion the Lessee employed the services of Architects accepted

by the Government as sufficiently able men to carry out the

duties of Public Architects in this Colony and also that the

wall was on each occasion built in such a manner as to satisfy

the Surveyor of H. M. the King as laid down in the lease. I

would further point out that the present collapse was caused by

the nullahs on Government land above Inland Lot No. 1523 not

being of sufficient size to carry off the abnormal flow of water

and so overflowing and carrying earth down on to the wall and

I would refer you to Messrs. Weaser and Raven's report to the

Colonial Secretary dated 17th. August, 1905, to which a plan is

attached which deals very fully with this subject.

The Lessee has spent a considerable amount

already on this wall and has no longer the necessary funds with

which to rebuilt.

.adow oldu¶ to rojoaria ed" .moll of

Seeing that the Lessee has so far done

her utmost to carry out the conditions of the Lease and that the collapse is now due to the fall of Government lands on to the wall, I would most respectfully ask the Government to

render some assistance to the Lessee instead of suggesting a

re-entry upon the property. If the Government could see their

way
