No. 59

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have submitted to my
consideration the question of reserving coal and Timber for Government
purposes in British Columbia and Vancouvers Island, and I transmit to
you herewith, for your information the copy of a report which I have
obtained from Her Majesty's Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners
upon it. I have intimated to the Admiralty my concurrence in the views
expressed by the Commissioners on this subject.
