Dear Smr,—We beg to acknowledge receipt of your favour of the 11th inst. enclosing plan showing that portion of Cad. Lot 2768 Eastern, which is scheduled for acquisition in connection with the above road extensions.
It is our intention at an early date to pull down the existing houses on the lot and re-build the property, but before doing so, we wish to ascertain what avail. able land we would have. We are now instructed by the beneficial owner of the lot to ask you if it would be possible to have the proposed road No. 17 moved some few feet further to the West to give him a building site on the East of the proposed road measuring 35ft. in width. At present the scheduled line of the road leaves a strip on the East, measuring proximately 23 fect wide on the North and 4 ft. wide on the South. You will no doubt appreciate the fact that this st of land will be rendered unfit for building purposes and will be a serious loss to the owners. Wo are instructed to state that if the Council sees its way to make this proposed alteration the owner will Surrender the land required at the assessed value.
We beg to return herewith the plan with the Proposed alteration indicated in pencil, and shall feel obliged if you will give the matter your attention.
Yours faithfully, Atcar & Brrsury.
Cuas. Move, Esq Municipal Engineer & Surveyor.
