Mr. Hays fixed this price | in 1908 as a compromise on the riginal agreement which was to permit me to pick the terminal ver and take any thousand acres at a hundred dollars a lot.| Of course, even in 1908, $375 an} acre was of values, and still less is it any measure | of values today. It was in 1908 a solatium price, in recognition of the fact that I agreed to drop | no measure of the sale to Sir Edgar} some | litigation the offer made me by Mr. Hays in 1908. Thus in October, 1908, I lected the seven hundred between the Dougias and Russel arms, and Mr. Hays notified the government that when surveyed as they have been in the last few without se- acres weeks he had sold me this tract of land. The purchase from Mr Hays included no waterfront; thus when the railroad company ia few months ago offered me the vaterfront of this area con- litionally on my watving my ‘laim to select some two hun- jred acres more at $375 an acre, sir Edward Vincent and I accept- “d the proposal to obviate fur- ther protracted litigation. I may say in conclusion that 1 have the greatest confidence in the future of your beautiful port and have no doubt that all that irea which surrounds the hbar- or Will in a quarter of a century be a densely packed town, and the terminal point of several greal railroad systems.
