COLONIAL SECRETARY'S DEPARTMENT.
No. 193. It is hereby notified for the information of architects, building-contrac- tors, owners of house-property and building land, and others concerned, that observation of the Crown foreshores in the Colony tends to the conclusion that the sandy beaches from which sand has been removed under Government permits do not recuperate to any appreciable extent, and that sand in the Colony must be more carefully conserved : Furthermore, extensive requirements for water and other public works, both at the pre- sent time and in the years to come, must be provided for and foreseen.
It is not at present proposed to withdraw or refuse permits to take sand in proper cases, but all applications for permits will require careful consideration.
27th March, 1931.
E. R. HALLIFAX,
Colonial Secretary.
