Sir,
Application having been made to this Department for the sale of the unsurveyed land
in the Parish of Jika Jika, situated East of the Royal Park, fronting Park Street,
near the site of the Old Manure Depôt, I am directed by the Honorable the Minister
of Lands and Agriculture to enquire if your trustees have any objections to urge against
the granting of such application.
