A place is being formed in 30 ft of water at spring tide, to be formed at neap tides, to be forwarded.

The expense of ten flights of steps is carried up in rough stones away with other places, the superintending being paid for by Government.

For the base of the steps, as the Praya work is filled in promiscuously by rubble, the above work will be executed in accordance with the plans and details formerly employed for other portions of the City, and the bottom @ 20 cents.

The peer referred to will be 79 feet in length, with a breadth of 12 feet, and a T head 20 feet by 10 feet, slightly modifying the original details.

The landing steps on either side of the seawall work will be 44 feet wide.

The steps will have landings of 20 feet, and will be six feet wide, two steps cut from one stone so as to make the work as durable as possible.

The amount voted by Council is $2000.

Coping stones: 4 lineal feet @ $2.46 = $9.84

Forward: $72 + $284 + $96 + $4 + $24 + $159 + $1624 = $1624

# $552.80 + $1624 = $2176.80, but the actual total shown is $1624.
