I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter (undated) on the subfoot of the conditions of sale imposed in purchasers of Grew Land, and te inferm you that the joint representations made by the architects of the delony on the discretionary powers regarding the interpretation of the conditions have received careful

consideration.

The condition referred to in the first paragraph of your letter is the usual conditien imposed in the case of lets situated in the residential quarters of the Gelony and is always interpreted liberally, the sole object being the prevention of the creation of un- sightly structures likely to prejudice the value of ad-

Jasent residences.

The objections to the conditions mentioned in paragraph 2 of your latter have been noted, and 1 an to give an assurance that the Firester of Fublic Verks will put a liberal and reasonable interpretation on them.

I am,

Gentlemen,

Your obedient servant,
