The third question appears to assume that the willingness of the Marine Lot Holders to undertake the work may qualify the opinion that I have expressed as to the inexpediency of their being allowed to do so. It is very true that the tone of the community has much altered, and is much more favourable than in November last. But I think most decidedly Government alone should do the work, and every part of it.

As to the fourth question, I should presume that the accumulation of filth on the Bowring Strand portion is so great that an immediate extension there is absolutely necessary. I therefore say decidedly that it ought to be begun at once.

The fifth and last question may be answered thus: if free ventilation, sanitary communication, sanitary arrangements, and the great and increasing numbers of our boat population are to be considered, there cannot be too many facilities of the kind specified. There should be new streets made, and at the end of every one, if possible, a landing place with steps on the Praya. The prevention of future encroachments on the Praya by means of private wharves must be the constant duty of Government. Of course, every facility must be granted for the landing and shipping of goods, and embarkation and disembarkation of passengers. I have no other suggestions to offer.
