Back Sections.

With reference to paragraph 3 of your letter under reply, it appears to be now admitted on behalf of the Government that where a frontager runs through to Shanghai Street he can properly make a claim in respect of injurious affecting of the back portion under Section 12 and that if such injurious affecting is established compensation is payable.

position.

We thus come to the following anomalous

The Government admit that a frontager whose section runs through to the back, if able to establish an injurious affecting of his back section, is entitled to com- -pensation under section 12; but deny that the owner of a back section, not being also a frontager of the same section, if able to prove his back section has been injuriously affected, is entitled under Section 12 to compensation.

Is this really the attitude of the Govern- -ment adopt? Hay we ask for a clear reply upon this point. We have been endeavouring to get one for some time but without success and till we do so we cannot determine what claim are to go in under the Ordinance. The Government keep asking to send in our claims and omit to clearly give us the information on which the sending in of such claims depends.

Yours faithfully,

(Sd.) Deacon, Looker and Deacon.
