ated in the rear of the land covered by
these leases that cannot be settled
upon, owing to the lack of roads to
them. There has been reserved at
regular distances a thirty feet strip for
the purpose Of building roads to such
lands. We believe that under the
conditions we ask for, the Govern
ment will at an early day, be in re-
ceipt of such q SUM of money from
the present lessees as will enable
them, under the amendment christ
ened by Minister Damon before the
Representative as''re-investment' to
vigorously carry on such road build
ing. The lands thus opened will as
soon as present lessees prove that
coffee can be successfully raised be en-
hanced in value to such an extent as
to repay the Government for the out
lay.
The Government is interested as
well as the present lesses in the Guilt
vation now going on therefore the eX-
ecutive and Legislature should en-
courage them in every way possible.
