Stm,—We see from the plan of road extensions in Hongkew forwarded to us a few days ago by Mr. Mayne that the proposed extension fo. 7" will entirely absorb the above lot for which we are trustees and which is registered in our names.
the Council desire to have a road in this position we are authorised by the owner to offer the entire block measuring 8 per Title deed 1, 8, 1, 4, at the rate of Tls. 3,000.00 per mow, and shall esteem it a favour if you will kindly let us have your reply at as early a date as possible.
We may say that block of land upon the Rifle Range has quite recently been sold at Tls. 4,500 per mow, so that we trust the price asked for Lot 2,83% will be considered reasonable.
We are, Sir, Your obedient servants, (Signed) Morrisox & Garrow, W. E. Levzsox, Esq., Acting Secretary,
