According to patch, at a recent meeting of the Barbados House of Asembly the following message was laid by the Attorney General: His Excellency the Governor to the Hon. the House of As sembly, The Governor has the honour to infoerm the Hon. the House of Assembly hat he has been notified by The Secretary of State for the Colonies that the War Office desirous of disposing of its remaining properties in Barbados and has suggested that he Colonial Government might are to make an offer for the roperties as a whole or for some part of them.
The remaining War Office property, consists of. 1) The premises at the Garrison known as the Offiers Mess and out buildings; the Iron Barracks, the Stone Barracks. 2) The premises at Hastings known as the Military HospiLal, the Medical Depot. The land on which the Garrison properties are situat ed is in area a little more than acres. The War Office offers to sell the Colonial Government, the buildings named at (1) for 8, 000 and those at (2) for 4, 000. The Governor is advised that in the general interest control of the Garrison propercies should be secured by the Colonial Government and invites the House to vote the funds necessary to effect their purchase. The Army Council desires to be informed of the decision of the Colonial Government by the 31st inst. at the latest. In the event of the Col.
onial Government deciding not to purchase the Army Council propose to take steps to adver tise the properties for sale. Be.
fore concluding however a sale at a lower sum than that re.
ferred to a further opportunity will be given to the Colonial Government to make an offer of purchase. The annual rental at present paid by occupants of the Garrison buildings concerned amounts to 425. During the last five years 992 has been expended on repairs. The reasons which seem to the Governor to justify asquisition of this property are: That even allowing for considerable expenditure on restoration and repairs the rest obtainable if the buildings continue to be let as tenements would pay an adequate interest on the outlay. That the Savannah now forms an important residential area of a good class and that the character of that area for residential purposes might easily be impaired if controsis not retained. That even if not retained as tenements the buildings would serve for other purposes and probably relieve the Government of much greater expenditure in purchase or construction.
