suitable site for the re-erection of the latrine, an area of land in the vicinity, forming part of a lot, would have to be resumed. The resumption of the area referred to would result in rendering available for sale, on completion of Nathan Road Extension, a con- siderable area of Crown land which would otherwise have to be devoted to the formation of a public road bounding the lot in question.
1. By adopting this proposal, the removal of the hill by present methods could be permitted to continue until such time as the extension of Nathan Road on its permanent alignment becomes advisable.
5. The estimated cost of the foregoing proposals was $14,500. The Chairman informed the Committee that there was no provision in this year's Estimates for any of the items involved.
6. The Committee unanimously agreed to recommend that the temporary extension of the road, including the removal of the public latrine and resumption of the area already mentioned, at a total estimated cost of $14,500, be carried out, the work being treated as urgent and a supplementary vote for it being taken as early as possible.
7. The Committee then adjourned.
