The purchaser of Conon Lodge was informed on 23rd October, in response to an inquiry by him, that in the event of his being the successful offerer for Conon Lodge at the public auction, the Board would be prepared to accept an offer from him of £300 for Rha Park and Rha Plantation. In the case of property offered for sale at public auction, it is not known who are intending purchasers; and the inquiry and reply to which I have referred were not published. The Board had no other inquiries from prospective bidders.
