Inform the Col. Secretary that the reserve of
police paddock on the road from Cooktown to the
McIvor River which was established in lieu of that
proclaimed in page 82 of the G.G. of 1880 Part 1st is found
to be quite unsuitable for the purpose for which it was
intended, being some 4 miles distant from the selections
on the river, very imperfectly supplied with water and
the land swampy. The original reserve is better situated
and so much more suitable in every way for a paddock
and as more of the land is being selected, altho' open to
selection some time, I would beg to recommend that it again
be proclaimed as a Police Paddock & the present res. cancelled
