6. The Superintendent also concurs with me in the opinion that the storage of powder on shore entails the necessity of a wharf projecting into deep water to allow of large cargo boats coming alongside and loading at all times of tides without having to use boats. On this point it must be borne in mind that it is in the increased handling of powder barrels, caused by the loading and unloading in and out of small boats that the risk of accident lies, and the prudence of having a proper wharf will therefore be readily recognized.

7. Accordingly, though not instructed to that effect, I have prepared a drawing of a timber jetty running out into a depth of five feet at low water spring tides, the cost of which will be $2700. Owing to the excessive shallowness of the water all along the shore opposite the magazine, the jetty, as shown, will have to run out to a distance of one hundred and forty-four feet before attaining the depth mentioned.

8. The aggregate cost of magazine and jetty would therefore amount to $10,700.
