Hon. Colonial Secretary,

Enclosure 2.

CO 9317

The Principal Land Surveyor visited the neighbour-

-hood of Sookumpo with Mr. Funatsu.

He enquired whether a site on the hill above the

old Belilios Reformatory was available. It was explained to him that the Government was not prepared to dispose of that land.

He eventually agreed that a site adjoining and to the N. of I.L. 1718 (Mt. Caroline Ex. for storing funeral urns) would

be suitable.

I attach a plan showing the lot in question coloured

red. The area is about 75,170 square feet. Mr. Funatsu wished to ex-

-tend the area to the North East, but it was explained to him that it

would not be advisable to have the path to the cemetery and Tai Hang

Rifle Range passing through the lot and there might be objections to

its diversion.

He is I understand satisfied with the area shewn

and would like it as a free grant (i.e. $1 per annum).

There is, I think, no objection to this as it is

unlikely that the Government will require it and its sale is improbable

as it is out of the way and inaccessible. Any extension to I.L.1718

would be to the South.

The value is assessed at:-

Premium 75,170 s.f. at 8 cents.

.86,013.60

Crow Rent 75,170 s.f. at $200 per acre equals

$346 per annum

or 7%..

capitalized at 14 /7 years

4,943.00

$ 10,956.60

Inland Lot 1879 was valued at a premium of 15 cents per square foot and crow rent at $300 per acre but this area is fairly level land close to main roads, whereas the one now applied for is steep hillside and somewhat inaccessible. There is, in fact, a

difference
