Gentlemen,
On return home, I found your Documents 11th Ult: with accompanying Papers relative to the above matter.
With the information supplied by Papers transmitted to me, viz:
1. Surveyor General's Letter to Colonial Secretary dated 5th March 1875.
2. Governor Kennedy's Memorandum thereon, dated 10th March 1875, appointing a Board and report.
3. Printed report of that Board dated 6th May 1875, with Minutes attached.
4. Two Memoranda by the Surveyor General dated 13 May 1875.
Drawings.
A. Proposed Praya Wall.
B. Existing Praya Wall.
C. Plan of the foreshore.
It is requested that the whole may be returned with your report.
I am unable to do more than report generally upon the subject of the proposed Praya Walls on the sea-front of the Town of Victoria.
Enabled to judge from the two Cross Sections (Appendices A and B) the existing Walls would appear to have been carried seaward as far as possible without involving expensive underwater foundations.
Assuming that the new Wall has to be founded upon a "rocky bottom" (as described by the Cross Section, Appendix A) which I presume could be irregular, I am of opinion that the permanent Wall proposed by the Surveyor General is capable of improvement in the following respect.
The rock should be laid in convenient lengths within a timber frame to its surface, which should be made clean. Upon this surface, viz: Casing and within.
