works in connexion therewith, as the Typhoon season showed that that was absolutely necessary for the preservation of the Road.

Payments on account amounting to £43.1.8 leaving a Balance of £73.10.2 to be expended as above.

The Government portion of the Sea wall in the Lower Bazaar, Report and Estimate No. 18/1853, was completed during the year and payments made to the amount of £131.9.2, leaving an unappropriated balance of £30 remains upon the Estimate which I considered advisable to retain in hand for emergencies arising from the nature of the foundation. I anticipated some degree of settlement and this has actually occurred to the extent of two feet in depth in one place, where the water was no less than twelve feet deep at low tide; this settlement having abated, I am enabled to bring the wall up to its intended level.

In connexion with this work and the remainder of the district, surface drains were commenced but in consequence of the unconsolidated state of the material I could not complete them; a payment of £5.5.11 was made on this head under Report and Estimate No. 14/1853, leaving a balance of £22.8.2 for the completion, which is now in course of execution.
