3. A fairly large plot at Tawahi has been reclaimed from the sea by the
Buildine- sites Port Trust and another plot has now been reclaimed
g ‘ by the Aden Settlement. There is some demand for
building on the Port Trust reclamation, but the purpose to which it is to be
utilised has not yet been determined by the Trustees of the Port pending the
settlement of the question of the sale of occupancy rights. At Shaikh Othman
there is plently of land fit for building, but no hopes of its being occupied on a
large scale can be entertained until there is a quicker means of communication
between it and the peninsula than the ordinary hackney carriage.
