As some Sappers, which is to be regretted, portions of the work require constant attention, which I am naturally unable to give with the other services demanding my attention; I however manage to visit the building regularly, and if possible, twice a day, and have much pleasure in stating the work is progressing properly, and the Contractors giving satisfaction.
The Chinese Overseer and the three Department coolies have been employed during the year in the usual manner in attendance upon me as chairmen, for surveying or other purposes, in the ordinary small repairs which are demanded to the Roads, &c., and, as I have no Foreman or Clerk of Works, I make them overseers on Contract Works in the formation of Roads; in these services I find them very useful, and they have given perfect satisfaction during the year.
Most of the Civil Buildings under my charge have been repaired as satisfactorily as circumstances would admit, and others requiring it have been postponed awaiting instructions as to the necessity for the upholding of them or not; they are the Police Stations near the Albany Godowns and at East Point & Leighton's Browns, both of which are in a very dilapidated state indeed.
Several defects appear in the Court House, particularly in the outer cornices, the crowning or projecting member of which has unfortunately been formed with wood plastered in cement, and the whole being covered up, the leakages therein and want of ventilation have
