ABSTRACT
If the Company wish to lay out townships along the line of Railway upon such land as may be lawfully acquired, that is, by purchase from individual proprietors, the Government can offer no objection; ground, however, for Government offices, &c., should be set apart for the Government. Native Reserves are not Crown Reserves, and the author thinks that there would be some difficulty in acceding to Mr. Murray’s request that townships may be laid out within them. Moreover, in the instance given, namely, within the Taungs Reserve, the proposed township would be at the wrong end of the Company’s line. That the Company shall be empowered to promote the irrigation of all lands in British Bechuanaland by artificial and other means of the supply and storage of water.
