It has therefore been found

necessary to reserve an additional area of land for the

purpose of erecting the students' quarters, and I have the

honour to recommend that the plot shown on the enclosed

plan, 4 acres in superficial area, shall be utilized for

this purpose in addition to the area which Your Lordship

approved in your Despatch 67 of 27th. April, 1909. The

land is situated on a steep hillside. It is valued by the

Acting Director of Public Works at $43,279 reckoning

premium at 15 cents per Square Foot and capitalizing the

Crown Rent. I have the honour to request Your Lordship's

sanction to the appropriation of this area for the purpose

named.
