Accordingly, it was proposed to proceed with this work, as it might be brought forward in a Supplementary Report and Estimate of the year. However, this has been unable to avoid, although the Lots of the French Government adjoining have nearly been reclaimed from the sea already.

Item 5 of that Estimate was not included in the total besides Item 5. How Item 1, Opening Praya, was brought forward as Item 10.
