the work demanded, and that £100 is given as the probable sum merely for the removal of the earth to form a proposed level area

-

examination and measurement

of the ground; and in addition to the labour of cutting and removal of the earth to form the requisite level area, provided for the construction of a rough stone wall

grassing (not contemplated by Lieutenant A John) to preserve and protect the filling from the wash of

and

the sea, which services I calculated would cost £186. 4. 70 including £16. 18.7 for Contingencies.

Three favourable Tenders for the work by Contract were received, two of which for levelling the ground

amounted to £106. 13. 4; the third, for the construction of a rough stone wall to protect the ground from the wash the sea, amounted to £37. 10, thus forming a Total of £ 144. 3. 4. or £ 42 lower than my Estimate-

the

of a

His Excellency further sauctioned sum of £25 for the construction stone drain, and £11. 19. 11 for planting trees; these extra works being added to the £144. 3. 4 referred to gives a total expenditure of £ 181. §. 3 for all the services on the ground.-
