Letter - Request for extension of Soldiers Point land grant as stores depot, 1854

Description

Unique IDA-01210699SeriesLetters SentDate5th May 1854Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - Letterpress CopybookDescriptionRequest that representation be made to the Governor General to extend the present Grant of land at Soldiers Point, made to the late Corporation of Sydney, as a Depot for stores and materials for City purposes. Approval having been given for use of the quarry at Pennant Hills, to provide a constant supply of blue metal for the Streets, a large quantity will soon be deposited on the Wharf; the duties which devolve with reference to Sewerage and Water will require a larger space for deposit of the requisite machinery and materials required for carrying out those duties. As the land to the South of the present Grant, as far as the Patent Slip, is vacant and in an unimproved state, an extension will allow the Commissioners to take immediate steps for forming permanent Wharfs with sufficient depth of water to accommodate vessels of considerable burthen. FROM: Donald Stewart, Secretary, City Commissioners Office. TO: Colonial Secretary.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYesBorn digital itemNo
