TE ARO RECLAMATION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIDIES. Sin, —Your report of the City Council proceedings makes it appear that I supported the claim of the Te Aro foreshore proprietors for compensation, whereas I strenuously opposed it, and for these reasons — The owners of IS acres asked to have an additional depth 66 feet by a breadth of 133 feet added to each acre, with a frontage to a new street. Now, as land has lately been sold to the Council in the same locality, the money value of tbe land now asked for would be between £3OOO and £4OOO for each acre, or an aggregate of £50,000 to £70,000 for the IS acres ° and 1 had never seen any valid grounds either in law or equity brought before the Council to justify the alienation to a few individuals of such an enormous amount of the public estate, consisting as it does of the very cream of the Te Aro reclamation. These were the reasons I stated for my opposition, and they remain unchanged.—l am, J. A. Allan.
