(7) That it was not until the notification came rom the Government that the Governor-in- Connoil refused to grant the modification recommended, that the Director of Fublis Works stated that the applicant had been granted

aeveral other modifications.

(8) These several modifiortions he stated are as follows:-

(a) The gedowns are permitted to project into the back yard spaces of the ground floor to the extent of six feet subject to certain conditious This is a modifestion of wation 180.

(b) The Government has agreed to purchase a strip of land in the centre of the blook at the rate of 88 per foot in order to improve the propored building scheme, Ordinance 1 of 1963, giving the necessary powers for curtailing the depth of houses erected on the Prays. This is more than a modification,

(e) à modißcation of the Fraya Reclamation Ordinance has been granted allowing houses of the northern block open spaces as shown on the plan.

(d) It was also agreed that a modification of the Praya Reclamation Ordinance should be granted, if required, to enable Intriass to be erreted in the back yards left for the honse after the formation of the 22 ft, lane. |

(a) Another modification was granted per mitting houses lo ezond fifteen feet in height,

(9) In respect to these reputed modifications I reply as follows:-

(a) This modification was applied for by the architects sad granted only on condition' that the remainder of the yard of these houses wa thrown into the 20 feet rond the Government wished to form through the property; the owner had no option but to accept this, otherwise the permit for the verandahs of the northern block

would have been refused,

(b) No modification, Government desired a road 22 ft. wide through this property, and have resumed a strip eight fest in width. The

remainder has been required from the owner withont payment, the granting of a permit for the above mentioned Torandahs being a lever

used to obtain the result. If the Government

· Mr. Hooper staten that it would have been quite simple for the Government to have resumed and paid for the whole of the 22 feet lane or street between the block of houses under construction and the adjoining block. So it would, bat it would have formed serious charge on the public parse. The Government have agreed to pay 38,488 for the sight feet strip and at the same rate the compensation for the 22 feet strip would have amounted to $23,232.
