Quay, opposite Ballance Street, to the intersection of Bowen Street and The Terrace,'thence through the Museum grounds to Sydney Street. The City Valuer had advised that a rough estimate of the cost of property resumption and compensation for dis-4ocation-of business, u^quld,, on a canrj servative" basis, amount to at least £144,000.": ■
