The Officer Administering the Government has received a proposal from the Surveyor General, which has been strongly supported by the Sanitary Board, for the reclamation of a piece of ground opposite the Sailors' Home, measuring 74,000 square feet in extent, destined, when completed, for the construction thereon of a new Western Market. The cost of this reclamation and of a Praya or Retaining Wall is estimated at $73,000, and the value of the ground to be reclaimed is estimated at $370,000.
