Sir,

Surveyor General's Office,

Victoria, 28th March 1855.

I have the honour to submit my Annual Report upon the progress of my Department for the year 1854, for the information of the Honourable the Lieutenant Governor.

The supervision of Government House and the works in connection with it occupied a large share of my attention, and the extreme difficulty I have had with the Contractor in forcing him to use more efficient methods, and employ a greater number of men, has been excessive; his pecuniary losses I believe are considerable, and this, coupled with the trouble...

The Honble. W. T. Mercer,

Colonial Secretary.
