booms for preventing
the spread of burning
oil from tank chips.
You will perceive,
that
I
have already informed you
by telegraph, that
Lord Lansdowne considers
that booms
would be
provided, and that
the design submitted
by Messrs
Leigh
and
Orange, would answer
the purpose for which
it is intended.
...
I observe that
Messrs Leigh & Orange
in their letter No. 989
to the Engineer,
which was
enclosed in
despatch No.
...
re: Existing Installation of
Petroleum in
...
which is within the
Harbour Limits, but
is not subject to the
onerous
condition of an
"boom" surrounding.
I should be glad if you
could furnish me with
a Report
