The contents of your letter to us of the 7th.

February last conveying the reply of His Excellency the

Governor to our application of the 12th. December 1916 was

received by us with very considerable surprise but we have

hesitated to press the matter further under existing circum-

-stances. We still feel, however, that an exception to the

general rule should be made in a case of this kind, and could

be made without creating a precedent in any way embarrassing

to the Government.

The Land Officer has now again communicated with

us with regard to our taking up the proposed new Crown Lease

for 99 years, but although the present is probably not an

opportune time to consider a question of this kind we venture

to suggest that no harm would be done by leaving it over till

after the War when it might receive fresh consideration, with

possibly a different result.
