Rob, I wouldn't disagree with most of your accounting of the Island's history, but I'm unclear on the basis for your statement that the subdivision of the land was illegal. Certainly, in retrospect, the subdivision of some land areas was unwise and short-sighted, but what laws - that were on the books at the time - was the subdivision in violation of - and recognizing too, that the laws were/are a reflection of the culture existing at the time...
