Dressing room and Lavatory are lined with white glazed tiles to a height of 5 feet. Above this height, the walls of the Accumulator room are plastered with cement mortar, whilst the remainder are merely whitewashed. The walls of the Land-line and Operating rooms are plastered with lime mortar throughout.

In the case of the quarters, the floors are of hardwood, those on the ground floor being laid on lime and cement concrete, 4" thick, and those on the upper floor being supported on 9′′ × 2′′ hardwood joists. The floors of the servants' quarters, &c., are laid with salt-glazed tiles on a bed of lime and cement concrete, 4" thick. All the walls of the living rooms are plastered with lime mortar, whilst those of the bath-rooms, store-room, &c., are plastered with cement mortar to a height of 5 feet. Ceilings of "China fir" boarding are provided over all the living rooms both on the ground and upper floors.

The quarters are dependent for their water supply upon a well which has hitherto afforded a supply to the old lighthouse quarters. To obviate contamination of the water, sundry improvements to the well and its surroundings were carried out at a cost of $118.81.

The Station is a low-power one (5 kilo-watts), the apparatus being supplied and erected by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. When in communication with a station of equal power, it has a range, by day, as under :-

Over open water, 350 nautical miles. Over flat land, 340 Over hilly land rising to 500 feet, 280 Over mountainous country rising to 3,000 feet, 200

The aerial is supported on two steel masts, 203 feet high and 400 feet apart. The masts are tubular in section, built up of semi-circular plates, their internal diameter being 2 feet. They are stayed with steel-wire ropes at three points in their height.

Payment of the retention money in connection with the Contract for the supply of the apparatus remained to be made in 1916.

97. Married Quarters for Police, Caine Road. These quarters were completed and several of the flats were occupied during November. As explained in last year's Report, the quarters have been erected on the site rendered available by the abolition of old No. 2 Tank and the diversion of Bonham Road. As the site consisted of made ground, the foundations of the buildings had to be extensively piled, the large amount of piling required causing some delay in the execution of the work.
