Original 1883 lease


Internal Government memo - 28 April 1890

[please ask] the Surveyor General, which in his opinion would be more for the interests of the public ... to build the road ... at the sacrifice of giving over to the ladies recreation club the piece of land refered to ?

It is evident that the Ladies have an eye to business ...

Reply:

The ladies of the Recreation ground cannot of course be expected to part with a portion of their property without getting some return ...
