FINAL REPORT.
PRAYA EAST RECLAMATION SCHEME.
Hon D.P.W.,
The construction of the above Scheme is now completed except the works included in the Reconstruction of Buildings, Boundary Walls, &c., rendered neces- sary by the Exchange of land at R.N. Arsenal Yard, together with a small amount of surfacing to the new roadways. The new sites for the reconstruction of the Arsen- al Yard Buildings and Boundary Walls have not been selected, it is not possible therefore to put this work in hand. Agreement however has been reached with the Naval Authorities as to the cost of carrying out this work. The surfacing of road- ways is being carried out under Contract and is now nearing completion, thus enabling the cost of the uncompleted work to be ascertained definitely.
