impracticable; to effect the enlargement in that direction. I propose to plant a thick hedge of prickly pear and Bamboos which will be quite sufficient protection. This embankment has been formed with considerable difficulty it being no less than 80 feet in height and has consequently taken considerable time to consolidate,
in the early part of last year it suffered materially during the rains, but having faced it over and prevented any flow upon its surface, it has been preserved from injury and it is now assuming a green and secure appearance.
The works in laying down pipes for the "main" for the supply of Water to government House has been in progress also, but I fear some extensive supplementary service must be effected to render the supply perfect at all times; for I perceive that there is insufficient water in the dry season (for four months) to keep the pipes from the Tank to the Barracks always full, and unless the water is forced through them so that any of the ascending branches are supplied, it is absolutely necessary to adopt measures to remedy this, which must be done by the creation of another Tank in some convenient locality so as to collect the streams, say below the present Tank, 80 feet vertical below it.
