is a great inconvenience to the general Community, and if only the funds to effect a junction are forthcoming, I do not think that such objections as those urged by Admiral Sir A. Kuper in the accompanying correspondence ought to be allowed to interfere with the completion of so desirable a project.

These objections are merely repetitions of those advanced several years ago by individual Marine Lot holders when the Praya was first contemplated, but now that the work has been carried out, experience has proved that the inconvenience anticipated in certain cases by the opening of a thoroughfare between Mercantile establishments and the Sea was overestimated, and that as a general measure the road is of great benefit on Commercial, police, Sanitary and social grounds.

Such a road could not cause greater inconvenience to the Naval yard than it does at present to the extensive works of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, or to those of the Messageries Imperiales, and several other extensive shipping and ship building establishments.
