In reply, I am desired to point out that the Campshed is 97 feet out from the public way,
and any barge lying in front of it could easily be moved away when required, should occation
arise.
The Harbour Master states that as a matter of fact barges could not approach tne rightof-way
until there is ample depth of water over the Campshed, but, by way of precaution,
Mr. Hollway has been requested to place a notice-board to indicate the position of the Campshed.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

public right-of-way without any application having been made to the Yestry in the matter,

your letter of 28th March, 1898.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
