being subdivided, the aforesaid Crown rent will be apportioned in proportion to the areas of such subdivisions but in each case will be calculated to the nearest even dollar. The upset price will be at the rate of $50 per square foot.

In the case of that portion of the area which is occupied by Messrs. Watkins & Co., the purchaser will not be given possession until 3 months after the day of sale.

The purchaser of any portion of the area will be required to erect buildings of a value equivalent to $15 per square foot of such area and will be required to complete such buildings, fit for occupation, before the expiration of 24 calendar months from the day of sale.

The design of the elevations of any building to be erected on the whole or any portion of the area will be subject to the special approval of the Director of Public Works, who, in the event of the area being subdivided into several lots, shall have power to regulate the height of storeys and may require the main features of any building to harmonize with those of the adjoining buildings.

Subject to the submission of satisfactory designs, the Government is prepared to sanction the construction of verandahs over the public footpath in Pedder Street, extend- ing the full height of the building and over the public footpath in Queen's Road, extend- ing for a height of three storeys only. In the case of such verandahs, there must be a clear space of at least 9 feet between the face of the external wall of the building and the inside face of any portion of the piers or columns upon which such verandahs are supported.

Any communications with regard to the foregoing should be addressed to the Director of Public Works. In every case, full particulars should be given with regard to the purposes for which it is intended to occupy any building which it is proposed to

erect.
