Praya East Reclamation Scheme.
159. (a.) Contribution by Government towards Fund for Reclamation.—The above item was referred to in paragraph 141 (a) of last year's Report.
One hundred additional side-tipping wagons were delivered on the works and in use by July.
Satisfactory progress was made with the depositing of earth filling from Morrison Hill; in addition to the transport line viâ Bowrington Canal, a track was laid on Heard Street, and the transport of filling material by locomotives and side-tipping wagons viâ the latter route was commenced in March. A total of about 800,000 cubic yards of filling material was deposited on the Reclamation Area by the end of the year.
The dredging of a length of about 2,500 feet of trench, and the filling in of same with rubble was completed in February. Dredging operations under this Contract were then suspended, as it was considered desirable that the rubble mound should be completed to the sea-wall foundation levels. Owing, however, to the stone-collecting coolies' strike which commenced in July and was not settled at the end of the year, the amount of rubble received was not sufficient to complete the mound to the desired levels,
