Cross-examined by Mr W. B. Clode, K, C,. (13).

 3341. I suppose you could scale that out, as you are an engineer, almost as it is there and tell me what those yellows are? --- They are rather irregular shaped to do that with any close approximation. I will let you have it afterwards.

3342. Have you no idea? --- They look about 28,000 feet.

3343. Those pieces of land would have to be acquired? --- Yes.

3344. Is the blue to be the square construction? --- Yes.

3345. Would you be able to do that on excavation? --- Yes, certainly.

3346. You would not have to acquire that? ---No.

3347. Otherwise there would have to be an easement to do it? --- Yes, because we are fairly close under the ground there, and I would prefer to do it cut and cover --- the whole thing.

3348. That means a pretty good aquisition of that too, does it not? --- In any case, it has to be acquired. It is not a case where you could get tunnel rights, because you are close beneath the street surfaces.

3349. I suppose you would have to see what you can do with the local authority; you seem to be crossing rather a biggish street in that horn that goes out to the south-west. How deep would you be there? --- Here you mean?

3350. A little higher up towards the Clearing House, I meant; in fact, on the blue? --- This is St. John's Street.
