The V"go@m@ said the matter vas itself SO simple Aathn needed no further explanation.
II is pr@odbed that whenever pmnsrcivmg public assistance own property, such shall athar
9uncmy hmt come to own several lots where formerly some buildings hd stood Applications
nave rom time to time been madef fol purchasing some Of them, and the object of the present pro-
PM Is oaWhTze the ogAnnen to sell by private sale such lot as may already have fn to
We mH' ana similar OStm Ia nightfnf ume fall to in the same nnner-fT whatever prices
may be fixed by valuation as stated in the letter..
Bt Member for WdeMkSod (Sunm)s said it appears that the Councils consent is not onv
&keah the Saeo certain nance lots for pertain named price, but also TO give cueManae tosel
|h4heTrO lots might future fall to the Colonial Treasury. Togvo this, would be QUITO the power
0He Council and for his part could not agree H
3h CrTnmenT (JW@) sdl he d1rel from tel honorable Speakers opinion The carte
%@ze asked by the Government is 10 serious thing quite thee contrary it would be good thing
P0hceO 1co ohrngo buy one Or other of such lots and would certainly be beneficial if the
Government could sell at once instead having in each case to bring the question before the Com-
for oset that may be- hand in future
1t Member for Erdenatd lSuoupI said he understood the consent was to be not only for
noR named the letter but also tori Hroc cases lie die not o1otb cnsentto tes sale of
those lots now mentioned but could Mt agree to tho consent 4rhe future Iad he believed the
Council could not give Hcha consent according to tho Colonial Law.
7u Cfo"nHeuH@ pfmpaD said he partly agreed vita 4Hl last Speaker; buthe would like
to know, if in selling lots belonging to the Poonund, any consideration will be taken oteh of
tefrm% owners anything belle oftm purchase sum, whether toh heirs will getH?-fnt
The mg0Tnm stated he did not lay great stress on the objection raised. Of course taen
from theoretical side such an authorization for the future might BE- Objectionable. and therefore he
would not be against limiting the proposal to the she Of lots already belonging to the Community.
Ied difficulty in future nay be avoided BY now an. tm,s say very 2nd or hymsg getting the
Councils @nsent to the sale 0fnewy acquired lots. As for the enquiry of the 3d Cpwmember
(Rapah) hewoudo Mrveh that when once such lots have become n pOpery9 heP Public. no heirs
havea claim wbatevrtot them ;-fte property weeo be sold whnet he party or his heirs ares still
holding h5g it, it, 'e I PaGIoo M might from good will say to them here is the balance aerre pgng the Poor
Bird Crownmembn (RupaA) thanked His Exceneny.
LIST Member for redenNted (SaauU) said that has happened several ime,h that PARTIES on
receiving support from the Poumd made overt their property, and the year after died. In one
should be pd to the heirs But that was no right due the mty it was v aoa: aG mo- on6t
if such csew to occur ghb the Colonial Council would not be unwilling to give up the
balance.
AsnO one else desired to have the word, the Chairman closed the dsowsons.
His Excenencyt the Vceyvenorh had withdrawn that part Of the proposal concerning the
Councils consent fr the Meo the lots acquired in future.
The Chairman put to vote The Council consent that the abovmamd lots be sold for the
wninmentOnedp prices to which they have bena Appraised, and on such condHnnsas tot the terms of
payment as Government may find suitable ad ameptabe- ito which the Council consented mani
mousy with IA votes. ~
After respite Of 10 minutes the Council proceeded to voe for Members of the Commute on
