mittee have to announce to the shareholders the acquisi-
tion of a valuable building property, which will be called
the West London Estate, being on the borders of West
Brompton, with an extensive frontage in the New Rich-
mond-road, North End, Fulham, on a direct lino with the
Kensington Museum-road. Omnibuses run close to Beau-
fort House (the head-quarters of the South Middlesex Vo-
lunteers), which is within a minute's walk of the society's
land ; a new station is now being erected on the West
London Railway, within five minutes' walk of the estate
and Now Richmond-road, and which will communicate
with all parts of the metropolis, on both sides of the
Thames. The committee consider that with such com-
munications and approaches the West London Estate will
afford great accommodation for the middle and working-
classes, displaced or about to be dislodged by the new
metropolitan railways. It is proposed to allot this fine
building property about the second week in August, or
earlier, if possible. The directors can also congratulate
the shareholders on the purchase of an eligible piece of
building land close to the South-Eastern Railway station
at Ramsgate, and to the High-street thereof, with frontage
to the high road to Margate. Houses are in great demand
since the coast line of the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway has been opened to Ramsgate. Tenders for the
completion of the roads on the Now Ferry Estate, opposite
Liverpool, and the St. Austell Estate, Cornwall, have been
accepted. The contracts for the works on the Hereford,
Stafford, Deal, and Putney, No. 4, are progressing. The
roads on the Wood Green, No. 2, and Roehampton estates
are finished. Tho new Kemp Town Railway, which
crosses the Round-hill estate, Brighton, is in active con-
struction, and it is hoped that a now station close to the
society's estate will be eventually erected, as the neigh-
bourhood has recently much increased. The committee
antielpte that they will be able to allot the second
Saudown estate, Isle of Wight, iu the course of the ensuing
mouth, and it is also expected that score portion of the
Forest-gate estate, Wanstead flats, may be offered before
the close of the financial year. The contractor for the
works, Nos. 33, Norfolk-street, and 11, Howard-street,
which will be combined for the society's offices, is under
engagement to complete the alterations and repairs within
a given period, and the executive committee hope to meet
the shareholders at the next quarterly meeting in the en-
larged premises, so much required owing to the extension
of business. The 20th of July being the last day for send-
ing in claims for the freehold franchise in counties, the
purchasers of laud on the society's estates in the 26 coun-
ties are requested, if not already on the register, to com-
municate with the society's solicitor, in order that they
may be duly registered. In the event of objections being
made, the requisite deeds and particulars of the property
should bo forwarded to the offices—the holders of plots
being careful to specify the most convenient polling dis-
tricts in the county or counties in which the property is
situated. Changes of address and any alterations in the
qualifications should be at once communicated to the
society's legal adviser, who will attend to the interests of
the allottees free of expense. The executive committee,
in conclusion, congratulate the shareholders on the pros-
perous position of the Conservative Land Society, for,
notwithstanding the financial pressure occasioned by the
late panic, the receipts for the first three quarters aro much
larger than those of the corresponding period of last year.
