Description

Unique IDA-00308609SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 11th July 1882 and 13th July 1882Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionLetter: J Jones, Little Stewart St Paddington, requesting consideration of site measurements for building provided in deeds, some auctioned as Block R of the Sydney Common Estate about 12 years earlier and measurements by a surveyor provided to the purchaser when lots 8, 9, 10 were resold recently with advice from Town Hall; with a drawing showing the problem of the block bounded by Renny St which includes the Dunbar Hotel & Brenhilda Terrace. (Note: This matter has been brought before me some time since, by the gentlemen herein referred to as Mr Wright No. 2, who (in company with his surveyor, Mr Percy Dove) called at this office with a view to elucidate the difficulty which they experienced through finding that the neighbouring purchasers of allotments were all overlapping their proper frontages according to the descriptions. Finding there was still sufficient land remaining I at first suggested the expediency of Mr Wright adopting the 'overlap' that the other owners commenced to make: but on Mr Dove informing me that the Solicitors would not approve of any alteration in position from what the descriptions shewed, I was forced to recommend Mr Wright to take the ground as it was conveyed to him. I have had a careful survey made of the block, shewing the state of affairs: ACM; 12/7/82. 13/7/82 ackd)LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
