As there are some buildings which can be

utilized for quarters &c., and as there is a good road already in existence. I propose for reasons of economy to fix on the site of the Lighthouse and to give an undertaking that in the event of war the station will be dismantled on the requisition and to the satis- -faction of the Military Authorities an arrangement with which the
