It will be noted that Mr. Anderson in
paragraph 7 recormends that the work of constructing
I support
the piers is undertaken by Government. this recommendation for the following reasons:
(a) The Scheme is a work of considerable magnitude, and previous experience has shown that, when private firms have undertaken such large works, completion is frequently
delayed.
(b) It is proposed to run three separate ferry
services from the Jubilee terminal and it is not possible to construct the vehicular ferry accommodation without building the piers for the other services at
the same time.
(၁)
Outside firms in the Colony have not had experience in the specialized type of construction
necessary, it is therefore essential that the work should
be carried out under the supervision and control of this
Department.
