The subsoil of the site being a loamy and sandy
Gravel, materials for concrete are in abundance on the
premises. This should be taken into consideration in
estimating the value of the property.
The total area of the site is a little more than 2-roods
15-perches.
In making this Report, I have followed the nine
headings submitted for my guidance as to the information
desired by the Commissioners.
