Privately owned land, not government reserve

Dear Editor,
With reference to my letter ‘Construction and squatting taking place on government reserves in parts of Corentyne’ (SN, 12.5.08), I apologize for inadvertently mentioning that people are squatting and erecting buildings on “government reserves.” Instead, it should have read, “property belonging to private proprietors and their heirs.” 
Yours faithfully,
P Hemraj
