the plans that for the scapiste scheme we propone te
construet in the bight of thang Kom Bay a large reclamation
of about 48 mares, from which will projest in a southerly
direction a series of 6 jøttien. For the first instalment
sur proposal is to construst Jetties Nos. 1 and 2 with a
portion of the reclamation to the extent of 7 acres, all as
shown by Red Colour on the plans.
42. The special requirements of the trade as at
present conduoted in regard to the large proportion of
cargo which is taken away by junks and barges, has already
been referred to in this report and is dealt with in these
proposals by providing in the case of each jetty (with one
exception to be referred to later) deep water berthage for
large vessels on the one side and barthage for junks or
vassals of small draught an the other. By this arrangement
barge which has been placed in sheds either for sorting Or
warehousing can be loaded with equal convenience inte ship
or junk as the oans may be. There will also be no diffi,
culty if necessary in transferring directly frus ship te
junk ar junk te ship.
43. It will be seen that, to meet these conditions,
wo propose to provide on the western side of Jetty No. 1
a junk basin having berthage of about 850 feet in length.
This and the other junk basins shown will, where necessary,
be dredged to give a minimm depth of 15 feet below
extreme low water spring tides, which from the information
obtained appears to us to be suply sufficient. Portions
of the basin, depending upon the natural depth of the
water, will be of greater depth.
