wankl not be glad to give $23,000 in rent for an acre of property of any kind in the centre of the city? It is doubtful if the alterations to be effected will materially improve the auc- tion value of the proporty at the. end of the two years' loase. The building is old, and dilapidated and it is scarcely likely that the new tenant will do niore than elfect such alterations ar ropairs as will serve the purposes. of his sub-tenants for the period of the Joase, at the end of which time we rather fancy the property will only ho fit for pulling down. Through following the usual Courso in this instance, the Government has received a lesson which we trust will not be fur gotten. The difference between the highest tondor accepted und $2,000, assuming the latter to bo a reasonable rental for such a pro- perty, comes to over: $38,000 Ta two years, which would be a tide addition to the column in the statement of the colony's revenue which is headed ** Rentals from Goveranront properties.
