sir,

DOWNING STREET,

30th June,

1903.10

I have the honour to acquaint you that I have been in

communication with the Secretary of State for War with regard

to the method of recording transfers or exchanges of land

effected between the War Department and a Colonial Government,

and with a view to dispensing as far as possible with the legal

charges involved on the execution of a formal deed of

conveyance, an arrangement has been agreed to under which such

a deed will not be necessary so long as the terms of the

arrangements in connection with the transfer are clearly

recorded ina formal memorandum, accompanied by a plan of the

lands in question, and signed in duplicate by the Governor and

the Officer Commanding the Troops in the Colony after being

approved by the Secretaries of State for the Colonies and for

War.

نسو

I have therefore to request that, whenever in future

it may be necessary to effect a transfer or exchange of land

with the War Department, a memorandum may be prepared

embodying the terms of transfer and forwarded, accompanied by

the necessary plan, for approval.

3. The memorandum and plan will be prepared by the War

Department when transferring property to the Colonial

Government, and by the Colonial Government when transferring

property to the War Department.

I have the honour to be,

THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING
