Sir,
With reference to my letter No.47/G of the
8th ultimo, concerning the proposed extension of
Murray Pier and the reinstatement of the Victoria
Yacht Club, I have the honour to transmit for your
consideration the enclosed copy of a Minute of the
Honourable Acting Director of Public Works together
with a copy of the Minutes of a Meeting, held on the
29th ultimo, by the Committee, which I had appoint ed
to consider the question of the reinstatement of the
Victoria Recreation Club on the site to be provided
by extending Murray Pier and the amalgamation of the
Aquatic Clubs.
2. You will observe that a sum of $15,000 has
been recommended as a fair and reasonable estimate
of the cost of reinstating the Yacht Club, and that
Mr Ordish is prepared to endorse this recommendation.
I have, therefore, the honour to enquire whether you
concur in this estimate of the cost and to request
that, in the event of your accepting this proposal,
you will be good enough to forward the estimate of $15,000 to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
for consideration.
Gommodore
F. Powell, R.N.,
C.B.,
I have,
etc.,

H.A.BLAKE.
Governor, etc.
