The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.-The reply to the second question is as follows:-The area it is proposed to retain round "Mountain Lodge" is about 14 acres, most if not all of which was probably considered the policy of the former building. Fully 12 acres is within the Pokfulam drainage area and therefore unsaleable. The remainder is steep and rocky and may be valued at $5,000.
