4. The land which at present lies within the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. walls including that
on which the Postmaster's house stands, was given by Sheikli Isa to Govern
ment free of charge, but having regard to the enhanced value which all the
surrounding properties have now attained, I am doubtful of the wisdom of
asking the Chief to give us this additional piece witbout compensation. I
therefore solicit permission to negotiate for this land—iirst at the same rate as
has been paid for the Hospital site, which works out at Us. 360, and if such
an offer really appears to give dissatisfaction then to pay up to Rs. 500
for the site required.

tional buildings which I desire to see constructed at once. The cost of eaoh
building is estimated roughly as follows :—
