HARBOUR

The erection of these buildings will help to meet the very grave shor- tage of low cost housing for work- men in this industrial district, and full development of this property for residential and industrial purposes will be a decided asset to the economy of the Colony.

The total area of the property is approximately 7-1.3 acres. In the planning of its development, five new roads will be formed, and between rows of houses full width scavenging lanes will be left. The ground taken up by the new roads totals 76,749 sq. ft. leaving a net area of 242,366 sq. ft. to be divided into building lots.

The portion of the property near- est the sea front of approximately 40,000 sq. ft. is being reserved for the construction of factories ΟΙ godowns, for the water front is along- side deep water and, when reclama- tion work is completed. ocean going steamers will be able to berth along- side. This reclamation work is now in progress.
